I do not think client email is better than web based email in term of secure. Now I can say that thanks to 2-step verification that has just been released by Gmail recently, I will never think about using client mail.
However, client email is better than web mail in case you are business users.

I fully agree with your point of view. I have tried to switch to cloud e-mail services/clients so often and I have always come back to the good old desktop. Just use IMAP so that you have a synchronised web service as a second option when you’re away. IMAP works great with Postbox and with most mobile clients. So I have my company’s e-mail synchronised on my desktop, with Postbox, and on my Windows Phone (Windows Phone 7′s e-mail client is the best looking and fastest e-mail client on ANY platform). I honestly tried to like GMail, after all the fantastic reviews you read everywhere, but I don’t know what it is, I just CANNOT get myself to like it.

I disagree with all your points but still prefer using my desktop email client (MacMail), simply because it homogenises the email handling interface. I have MacMail set up with one gmail accounts and two company emails from different domains, and the all look the same on my desktop, and I can drag emails between them and organise emails from different addresses into the same folders when relevant.
However, feature- and extension wise it doesn’t come anywhere near gmail, and I do miss many of gmail’s features. Gmail feature innovation is like a relentless river that never stops flowing… many which I wouldn’t even have though of. Labs (part of settings) is worth checking on a regular basis just for the inspiration.
