I consider gmail a client, because it allows you to not only use gmail email accounts, but it can fetch mail from other pop3 accounts too. Not to mention google's brilliant conversation view (view emails like a forum!), which beats the living and dead shit out of threaded messages.

He probably doesn't use a client if he doesn't know what it is. Check out Claws if you want a client that organizes messages like gmail does, all OSes.

@Equi: what icon do you click on, and on which computer (the new MBPro or the family Windows box)?

If it looks like a stamp with a flying bird, that's Mac Mail (it's in the dock, that strip where all the icons are, when they're onscreen, depending on how you have the hotcorners and the magnifying and the hiding set up). Right between Dashboard and Safari in default iLife '06 (the software that came on the new MBPro). :D

I have no idea what the Outlook symbol looks like now, because I have Entourage (which came with the Office: Mac package - Word, Excel, PowerPoint - three programs I need for my job). I never use Entourage. I opened it once. When I had Win98, I used to get two or three updates to security breaches for Outlook a day. :-?

Or do you just click on a Verizon icon? :P

OMG Equi, I have to say you are teh nub when it comes to computing stuff.

A client is a program that talks to your email server.  It downloads your mail for you to read on your computer, helps you organize it, and gives you a nice interface to write emails back.

What you're using is known as webmail - an interface to the email server that runs in a web browser (gmail is also like this).  It's talking to the same server as your email client, but just is doing it directly from your web browser.

Most people prefer email clients to webmail because they generally look nicer, have more features, and allow you to store your email locally and look back on it even when you aren't connected to the interwebs.

So, all that being said, you should definitely give Apple Mail a go.  It's the application with the postage stamp icon, and it will help you look at your mail in a nice interface.

I use Mail.app with the Letterbox Plugin and it works just great.  The rule system is very good and, unlike Thunderbird, Entourage, or Eudora, it looks nice and plays nice with my other apps.

gmail is software.
It runs in your browser? so what.
Lots of email clients run under VMs, either java or .net or anything else.

Why is gmail any different?

OK that's true.  "Email client" and "webmail" are converging.  But I wanted to keep it simple for Equi.  Don't confuse im lol.
