• It's cross platform

As long as you have an Internet browser for you OS you can use the WebClient.

• You can use your own preferred browser

No need for you to get to know yet another mail application. You can use your own familiar browser.

• It's the ultimate thin client

There really is nothing to configure on the Client side. All the user needs is a browser and the URL where he/she can find the WebClient site.

• Accessibility

As long as there is some dial up connection, a user can send, receive and check messages using a browser. Users are no longer bound to software installed on their PC's or laptops.
