As of this week, Gmail has reached perfection: You no longer have to be online to read or write messages.
Like every other desktop email client ever, that is.
If you’re still tied to a desktop app—whether Outlook, the Mac’s Mail program, or anything else that sees your local hard drive, rather than a Web server, as its brain—then you’re doing it wrong.
Well, I’m convinced. I guess I’ll just switch to an email client that doesn’t allow me to drag a goddamn file into the message to attach it.

This is why IMAP has been better than webmail (and Gmail, as good as it is) for, like, 15 years.
