Gmail is an app so nothing to do with web clients. A web client means using a browser like chrome to access a web page for email.
No, Gmail is a mail service that includes a Web-based interface AND and app interface. I use the app on my phone and the web browser on my laptop.

The 'Gmail' I was referring to (using POP3, IMAP, etc) in the context of web/non-web discussion is an App (compiled, installed application), not an "interface". It is like email clients that have been around for decades and need not even connect to gmail.com. You can use it to pull email from many mail providers. You can also use it without using the web client the way you use it on your phone. So yes, it's an alternative to using a web client.
Regardless, the solution the OP found works for him. The Gmail App may have just as well.
