Webmail replaces email

This is becoming a common observation shared by many researchers: Webmail is not prefered to (and used more than) traditional email.

I wonder whether this is coming from the best aptitude of online services to filter SPAM...

Webmail will not replace email

On the contrary, the recent incidents ofGoogle Email (on 1st September) must make us think about the real reasons to move toward wembail. Let's not forget the important advantages of the most traditional email:

• As long as your PC works, your email will follow you
• The management of attachements is much better and much easier with normal email
• One email tool (Pegasus, Outlook or anything else) is able to handle all your email accounts
• The other applications can send emails, but usually not through a webmail
• The user interface is fully consistent with the rest of the PC (it's far from true for the webmails)
• An email management software is nearly always the best solution to handle email rules (including for a better integration of anti-SPAM tools)
