I'd love to use something with the Gmail interface for my work (Exchange) e-mails, and I don't exactly carry enough weight to convince the entire company to switch to Google Apps.

With that in mind, is there a local, not-in-the-cloud web client that supports IMAP or POP3 and has the look and feel of Gmail's web interface? (that works on Windows XP).

I just discovered Mailplane, which looks awesome, but is OSX only unfortunately. – Clayton Hughes Jun 3 '10 at 1:50

Look and feel? That depends on what look and feel you are going for. The newest Outlook from Office 2010 handles "conversations" much better now. (You can even ignore a "thread"). Also, Thunderbird has done conversations for awhile as well.

If it is the Label system you prefer. You can do Categories in 2010 Outlook and create a "Search Folder" for that Category.

Unfortunately, I'm on Outlook 2007, and it's support for conversations is quite painful. Thanks for letting me know about 2010, though! Maybe there's hope in my future. – Clayton Hughes Jun 3 '10 at 1:49
I use Outlook 2010 on my laptop, Thunderbird on my desktop and Clawmail on another PC. So far the new Outlook has impressed me. – MrStatic Jun 3 '10 at 1:51

Wait... is 2010 even out yet? All I'm seeing is a pre-order: store.microsoft.com/microsoft/Outlook-2010/product/B79828F2 – Clayton Hughes Jun 3 '10 at 1:52

Heh, sorry I have a Technet subscription. The RTM is out on there which is the final version. 2010 is due out this month retail. – MrStatic Jun 3 '10 at 1:57

None that I know of.

Neither outlook nor Thunderbird have quite broken free of the "traditional email client" paradigm to te extent that gmail has done this.
