Its actually sort of sad that we've just become accustomed to e-mail not being available after 2-3 years...

Webmail cannot replace Thunderbird or Outlook for me. Webmail doesn't get checked every 5 minutes automatically.
My MSU and Gmail accounts get automatically checked by Thunderbird. I prefer the user interface over any webmail solution.
