I only use webmail for low volume stuff.  I can't cope with the interface (not
even Gmail, which is quite good for webmail) when flipping through hundreds of
messages.  I still log in via SSH, but use a POP3 client over SSH on my laptop
to access my mail. :)

I use a lot of text mode stuff, but these days, I tend to keep the text mode to
mostly the server end and I do like a GUI for a lot of end user stuff, as I am
a very visual person in how I handle information.  Horses for courses, so
you'll see a mix of GUI and commandline wherever I go for a very long time. :-)
