You're the one shifting your story, BB. And it still doesn't work.

Then do not mix apples and apple juice, to keep apples OK.
email is email, an email client is email client.

But anyway, all this discussion is about nothing
but personal preferences, therefore pointless and useless.

What is the best
is on many NGs and web forums a question
forbidden by rules.

It is wise decision,
as far as it is highly subjective and leads to flame wars.

There is not best client,
either client side SW, either server side web application.

There are only clients,
that fits his/yours/mine requirements, demands,
needs and desires the best.

As many such combinations, as many possible best solutions.

Only a fool could say
the best is what he thinks it is the best.

Email is server based while staying on the server.
Once downloaded and server copy deleted, it is client based.
