Dan, thanks for your input on the conversation. I did install it (see comment above), and -- as originally stated -- didn't find it to be a substantial improvement from the previous e-mail utilities I was already using. That's not to say everyone will feel the same; you are certainly welcome to your own opinion, even if you chose to express it as elegantly as you have here.

In any case, I do appreciate the pleasantries. Hope you have an enjoyable -- and perhaps even non-hostile -- afternoon.

Drake, true -- I suppose it would be a step up from using the AOL or Y Mail interface. Personally, I have most of my accounts set up to route to a single Gmail account, which I typically check via IMAP through Outlook when I'm on my primary computer. For me, that provides fairly substantial on- or offline capability, and I've always got Xobni for conversation-based viewing options. It's certainly just a matter of personal preference, though.

That's because you're dense. Seriously, why are you posting this crap. There is nothing of value in this article, and the absence of information on the Yahoo Desktop is astounding. You get paid to do this?

Did you even install it?

LAME.

The key difference here is that there is a full search index (think about gmail 's search index) and a conversation index that is all brought offline. So you can now view your AOL or Y! Mail with a conversation view or you can search your entire gmail box offline (since the search index is offline)

They've tried all of this before with various versions of the Yahoo Toolbar, Yahoo Browser, Yahoo Plus software. It's always failed.
