Not my e-mail client, but "Hamster", my local mail and news server:
Yes, at the moment I have to click at it, then it does the things I
described above.
If I like, I can configure it that way, that it sends/receives mail
whenever I want, e.g. at night while I'm asleep, and then greets me in
the morning and says: "Hi Juergen, you have x new mails. Have a nice
day."

Not harder, but I prefer a mailing list to a web forum.
I can read and write messages offline, I can use the editor of my choice
for writing, I can configure my mail client so that it sends messages
with special contents to separate folders, I can store and search the
posts almost any way I want.
Using Hamster, I can even change a mailing list into a local newsgroup,
and then read and post with a newsreader, and much more.

Regardless what method I use to discuss in the Euphoria community, I
have e-mail anyway. So I have to protect my e-mail system anyway, and I
actually do so in a powerful manner, using MailWasher, Hamster, the
F-Prot realtime anti-virus scanner, and more; but I believe, that's not
the topic at the moment.
Of course Topica's web interface is primitive. But a great advantage of
Topica is, that it has a web interface _and_ a POP3/SMTP e-mail
interface.
