I assume poster means clearly, that back in time even dedicated software 
was not so easy to use and not so friendly than today even some web 
front-end. So he did not even need to use Thunderbird, but just open the 
web, which has some advantage over GUI client, as it's server side, so 
one get the same experience from anywhere.
