It is very inconvenient to use the webmail for reading mails.
Agreed. But that's beside the point. Many people do and there's no dissuading them. I suppose it makes sense for people that don't have a computer and aren't particularly IT-literate. Well, OK, there was this time in Ealing ...
And I don't want to install local mail clients, because I read the messages from several locations.
I'm sorry, that makes no sense. Peter correctly points out that using IMAP means you read with a local mail client but don't have to download. How is this different from reading using a website? You don't download when reading using a browser either. I use IMAP to access over 20 different sites, some of them mailing lists. One of them is even GMail. Some people think you can't access GMail using IMAP but you can: There is a server at imap.gmail.com that you can access at port 993. You do need an Gmail account for the credentials to login. I use Thunderbird because it is a versatile reader, pleasing layout, has many plug-ins and also allows for me to access feeds and newsgroups seamlessly. The downside is that it doesn't run on my phone. -- “Reality is so complex, we must move away from dogma, whether it’s conspiracy theories or free-market,” -- James Glattfelder. http://jth.ch/jbg
