Re: Web browser email versus client email

I've used gmail now for probaby 3-4 years and it's been great. The only
issue I ever had has happened just recently after a Windows update (on
both my Vista and XP machines) and that is my inbox window not wanting
to load up. Extremely frustrating, however when it doesn't work on my
laptop, it seems to work on my desktop, and vice versa. I tried
unloading the Windows updates, but to no avail (1 wouldn't uninstall,
another "important" one wouldn't let me uninstall it).

I'll second Gmail. I use three accounts regularly and use Gmail IMAP in
Outlook to check them all.

My wife wants to set up a different email account for her laptop than
our desktop. I am wavering between using one of the freebie web based

email
accounts: Hotmail, Yahoo mail, Google mail; and between something
that supports using the mail client that came with Vista. She likes
being able to do the Send/Receive and work offline although, with
wireless in the home I don't know how often that will be necessary.
She's going back to college starting today, and, may take the laptop
to some scrapbooking events.

I am assuming that the web based ones probably don't have the ability
to interface with that mail client because then it would be hard to
subsidize the free part, eh? Am I wrong? If so, how do I set it up?

I am checking with our ISP to see how much it would cost, if anything,

to add an additional email account.

Any pro's/con's I should be concerned with regarding either client?
