I can't emphasize this enough.  Everyone in my family from my 20 year
old daugher to my 95 year old father has both a computer (usually a
laptop) and a phone, and reads and sends mail from both.  I'd say that
multiple devices have become the norm, so if want to use your mail in
a sane way, you need to use IMAP or something else that manages a
server mail store shared by all the clients.

R's,
