I have not tried that, so you may well be right.

I only use web mail when my normal machines are down for maintenance,
etc.  Using their web mail is functional.  Speed wise, it's probably 50%
slower than using my POP client.  I have no frame of reference to
compare to other web mail services, since I don't use gmail, etc.  Your
internet connection speed may make a difference in the perceived
performance.  I have 20 Mbps down and 3 Mbps up, so using a remote
service is not too bad.  I still prefer a local client though.
