Windows 10: Email Client vs Webmail for security

I currently use a email client on my computer but worry that it will eventually download a malicious file from the email inbox. Is it still secure to use the email client or better to use the web interface?

Email clients not remembering passwords

Hi all

A friends computer will not remember his gmail password. He used to use outlook, and seeing that I use thunderbird and it would be easier to troubleshoot I installed that for him. Now that was working for a few weeks, and now the same problem is occuring.

We are 100% sure the password is correct, as we can access the email account through webmail, but the local clients will not remember the correct password. Of course the 'Remember password' button is checked, but still no good.

It returns with incorrect password.

Any suggestions?

Best alternative desktop email client

Hi:

There are only a handful of webmail providers out there.
Like the big G or not, Google does take security a bit more seriously than yahoo! ever did.
So gmail may be one of the few alternatives.

Having said that...
That's really a different subject and off-topic for this thread, in which the OP asks about DESKTOP EMAIL CLIENTS.
So, discussion about WEBMAIL options might be better suited to a new, separate thread??

Cheers,
