The problem with webmail is that it only works online. I like to be able to
dial in, recieve mail, then read it offline.

Also, webmail is painful on a slow connection. With retrieval, you can do
something else while the mail downloads, then read it at a sensible speed,
rather than have to wait to see each new message.

Just my 2p

Ian
