Great New Web(2.0)mail
If you have a few email accounts and would like to be able to access them on the go, then I can recommend GMX — the rich Web 2.0 interface is so similar to using Windows (Outlook) and you can set it up easily to collect emails from a number of POP accounts, as well as Yahoo, Hotmail and GoogleMail.
Its a great example of what people are calling Rich Internet Applications (RIA) which aim to eventually replace desktop applications, and also shows what is possible using “Web 2.0″ technology such as Ajax.

Looks a very nice interface. The problem with any webmail account ‘collecting’ POP accounts is that a conversation or a thread gets hijacked by the webmail account. Your ’sent’ messages will never be ‘back’ in that account. I’m a big fan of Gmail but I admit it has that same problem. I wish there was something out there that could update threads (sent and rec’d) via POP to my Outlook, to keep something offlinr and ‘local’ running.
