Most laptops run Windows and of course I could read my mail like any poor Windows user with a browser :-) But I don't. I fetch my mails from my ISP with fetchmail and pipe them through sendmail and procmail (for filtering); and I send upstream with SMPT && SSL to my ISP using sendmail. More, if you have to pay the Internet link in a hotel, for example in Havana time based ($4.50 per hour), it is so nice to connect a few seconds(!) to fetch all your mails, shutdown the link, read and answer the mails offline, queue answers with sendmail, and re-open the link for a few seconds to send the mails out.
