Sorry but gmail is a mail client and more effective than most of desktop solutions because it's available from anywhere and it's cross-platform without the need to install any software. And it's far more secure if the user has the two-step authentification and disconnect after each session. Sorting, labelling, retrieving from multiple email addresses, and automation are the main characteristics of a mail client. So it's still has default like the lack of IMAP support for retrieving mail from other addresses, but it's better than any desktop solution except for special cases. And for my friends because they move a lot and switch between many computers, Gmail is the right way, even if it has still to improve itself...
