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.
Erm, who says you cant drag a file into the attachment field to attach it? Firefox requires an addon but afaik WebKit does it by default. I find the GMail web client a lot better then any desktop client I’ve ever used.

![jamiew:
Gmail now has Advanced IMAP Controls! Get rid of that pesky “[Gmail]/All Mail” folder (and thus duplicate search results) in Mail.app
I finally see why people don’t like the all mail folder. I find it indispensable because it’s the only way that I have found to archive emails from the iPhone.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/BTY54d2GDgex30esU9dyaRQXo1_400.png)
