I use gmail but with an email client. Folder creation, rules, etc. are identical to other emails.
I hate webmail.

An email client is software that allows the user to get email from one or more email servers. Thunderbird is an email client (that I used for quite some time before Gmail came out) just as webmail is an email client.
I have been using Thunderbird for probably over 15 years.

Anyone who has more than one email account, especially on different service is doing themselves a great DIS-SERVICE by not using an email client. You can easily copy the contents of one folder on one service to a folder ON A DIFFERENT SERVICE !
One of the best feature is the easy of embedding images. Simply Copy and Paste anywhere in the document. Easily insert horizontal lines, tables, links, etc. regardless of what server/service you are using.
Some clients (e.g. Thunderbird) run on a PC and other clients (e.g. webmail) run on a web browser. They all do the same thing, allow the user to access their email (from one or more servers) and send email. They all provide basically the same services no matter what you believe.
So use whatever email client you choose, but to claim that one can do wonders that others cannot just means you don't know what other clients are capable of. The icons at the bottom of the Gmail new message window below allow all the functions you mention. And you can certainly cut & paste into a Gmail message.
And regarding this statement "You can easily copy the contents of one folder on one service to a folder ON A DIFFERENT SERVICE !", I assume by "service" you mean server. So, if you mean your client keeps emails in different folders for each server, there is no need to do this in Gmail since emails from all servers are all in one place. When you reply to an email, gmail automatically sets the from address to whatever email address it was sent to. If you are referring to some other function, please describe.
