    Networking is remarkably efficient, and so is decoding images, because processors do it so quickly. For more intensive tasks like video, hardware decoders make them efficient. All email is to the client computer is making a request for data, processing that into a list that can be displayed, and displaying it. I’m pretty sure just having the screen on is orders of magnitude more power hungry.

      Yeah i know it is efficient. That does not chance the fact i would like to know the numbers.

      Also client side is only the client side. I bet email services have plenty of SSR that start to happen the moment you are in the login window.

      Im dont belive it has any real effect. Im just curious to hear any numbers so i dont need to trust my feelings and i can operate on facts.
