That's what IMAP and CalDAV are for.  It would be nice to see something like IMAP for a user's
RSS subscriptions so it would remember what has been read as well.  Not everyone wants web
only interfaces.  I quite like my fat email clients, and only used web interfaces when on
public computers.

The OP might be on to something.  I use Mutt at home and Icedove at work.  While I still
prefer local clients to web equivalents, offering a web-based client in addition to standalone
clients could be a decent way to generate revenue.  Even better if the web client could
support the "productivity" features many businesses use.  

Microsoft's Exchange web client is horrible to use.  I imagine people would love an
alternative.
