Just remember to ensure you have a backup solution in place so you don't lose your email data. This can be an important consideration for business purposes, as allowing your email to run through web apps means that although it will be safely backed up, it also means the provider has control over your data. In other words, only you control your emails, and third parties have no access to them unless you purposefully - or accidentally - allow it. While email clients may require a little more work to run, they also allow for more control over user data.
Cloud-based email web apps have become much more popular, especially due to the fact you can seamlessly switch between your desktop and phone to access your emails, making them especially accessible and easy to use.Įmail clients still have their place, however, if they do generally tie you down to one device.
