I just have to disagree with that. IMAP and POP are not good tools for the way I use e-mail, because I don't carry a laptop around. I've used web-based e-mail tools exclusively for my personal e-mail for probably seven or eight years now, and there's no problem with dialup. Or at least, there hasn't been, except since Gmail caught this featuritis bug. Most of them are a bit slow to connect, but then work fine once you're logged in. Gmail seems to have a huge volume of scripting, and they insist on downloading it all anew every session rather than letting it be cached. Then they set all sorts of timers and bitch and moan if it isn't going fast enough, which is just plain stupid.
