Guide Review - XS2Mail - Web-Based Email Client
XS2Mail provides particularly easy to use and useful access to your email account from just about anywhere with just a browser. This ease of use starts with the log-in, where XS2Mail knows the access details of many popular email account providers, and continues with clean screens of mailbox, message, and composition window.

But XS2Mail is not only easy to use, it is also quite powerful, especially when you get to use it with an IMAP account. Then you can really use XS2Mail a lot like a full desktop email client, keeping sent mail in the "sent" folder, moving messages, and more.

It's also great to see XS2Mail supports APOP and TLS/SSL security and is privacy conscious. Message filters would probably be a nice addition to these features.
