in Yahoo Tries to Outdo Outlook with Zimbra on The Inquisitr
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)

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.
