- what sucks about 2 is that you can't distinguish between individual
messages in a thread that are read or not read. So you end up missing
whole threads because you read a few messages and skipped the rest,
and they all got marked read.

3. All the mail I've received in the last 3 years searchable wherever
I am, even on my phone. Incredibly useful.
4. Nice filtering/hiding of repeated strings (quoted paragraphs, signatures).

Ultimately it was 3 that made me abandon having a local mail client. I
could download all the mail onto my computer with a client, but there
just doesn't seem to be much point.
