You have a laptop because you travel. You have multiple accounts to
assure you have connectivity wherever you travel. Every time you
connect, you have to adjust your mail client settings based on the whims
of the provider you're using at that moment. Starts to be a pain if you
travel a lot. Yes, there are some client solutions. "broadly supported"
is a different matter.
Only convenient kludge that is (mostly) provider independent is a
webmail service, a completely different can of worms/flame war.
Best regards,
