Well, they didn't fix the render engine for Outlook and it became the worst platform to build emails for.

I'm thinking a client would be good for someone like the MIL. She needs to have a couple of email addresses and she always forgets the passwords. A client like Thunderbird could put them all in one place

I was mostly joshing about about Outlook. The thing that bugs me with web based email clients is that sometimes they override default webapp user interactions / don't follow the most basic of common UX. e.g Scroll click, and ctrl+click. Those two are are critical to how I use the web as someone with "fuck you" amount of screen real estate. Taking things like that away really pisses me off as it's not me that's broken. Also Accessibility is an after thought, although I don't have any disabilities, as a power user sometimes I don't wanna use a mouse and instead just solely use a keyboard and tab + shortcuts, that's not really fully feasible without frustration vs. old desktop clients. Plus don't get me started on specifically emails "back" from search being a different button... The amount of times I just have to re-search for the same thing 😡

Other sites do it too but emails seem to be the worst for it.

For your MIL though, if it's primarily using passwords that's the problem then why not just set up LastPass? You'll then also know that she has a unique strong password for every site as an added security bonus. Tbh I also combine that with just Google's password manager for stuff I don't care about
