 Web based Emails as oppose to Client based

Web-based is email that’s viewed on the web (hence, the name). So, if you’re using Gmail, Yahoo!, AOL, or any number of other web-based email providers, you can access it from any location.

Client-Based email is loaded directly on your computer by your client. This is done using installed software that, when opened, automatically downloads all your email, which you can then view at your leisure. Outlook, Thunderbird, and Windows Live Mail are just a few examples of email clients.

I prefer the combination of using Gmail and Outlook together. This means that if desired I can check my Gmail account from any location. However, when I open Outlook at home, this same mail is directed into my computer.

An advantage of client-based email is that it is easier to direct multiple email accounts to a single location. For example, if you use different email accounts for different reasons (a home account, a work account, etc), it is relatively easy to direct all of them to your client-based email.
