What is the point of using an email client over just using the web client? I've never been able to figure out the use case. Genuine question, not just trying to shit on this.
Edit: Thanks for all the answers, I'm trying it out now
My use case: I like to have all my emails stored locally just in case some disaster happens with the copies in the cloud; I also get to have both personal and work email addresses, from different providers, in one organized and unified interface, and the same goes for tasks, calendars and contacts; and some features from big web clients are sometimes too nosy for my taste (suggested replies, pushing their calendar, messaging, tasks and contacts products, etc)
