The benefits are that I can control my email from anywhere in any country without having to worry about security issues like hacking etc., also it has an option for two factor authentications which makes me feel more secured while using this software.
It's very easy to configure as well since there're many tutorials available over internet regarding its configuration options. Nothing much but if u have multiple devices then go ahead otherwise don't waste ur time because one single login will do everything i want! Easy way to logon remotely when needed.
