Default Which do you prefer?

There seems to be some juicy threads regarding which type of email client a person prefers be it POP 3 (Outlook, Thunderbird) or Web based (Yahoo, Freeserve, Mail) etc.

Which do YOU like, vote now and post a thread as to which one on either side.

POP3, Outlook.

I find web based slow, sooooo slow.

I also like the way that if I have my outlook open all day I instantly know when emails come in, rather then logging in to find out.

I just can't understand why anyone would prefer web based, enlighten me if you want. :D

I think Yahoo has a notifier and I definately know that mail.com has.

Never really got into Outlook, and haven't had the time to download Thunderbird yet. I only have 3 email accounts, so it's not that much of a hassle for me to be web-based at this point in time.

It a email client like Outlook made by another company.

See: http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/products/thunderbird/
