Unless Gmail supports IMAP (which as far as I know it doesn't) you won't gain
anything by using an email client over a web browser unless you are prepared to
use the client to download messages to your local hard drive. Which you
said you're trying to avoid.
So a web browser is what you want to use to do the job that you have in mind.
Don't forget to clear the cache after reading, of course.
