Saves manually archiving every so often. I wonder if you are a bit like me i like the Gmail UI for most things but it is useful to use an email client sometimes. As a linux user i find Alpine the best as i don't have to download headers each time i do an install of a new release which is every six months. Alpine just reads on the server and all i do is copy over the .pinerc file when i do an install. No other mail client works as fast as Alpine i find. Obviously if you like Gnus you could set it up to do similar... Gnus was a bit complicated for me! hth james
