Yes.  I use two WebmMail systems - RoundCube (which is open source and
many mail providers use), & fastmail.com's own/proprietary system.  The
latter looks nice and is very fast (you can easily forget you're using
a web-based thing) and its searching and filtering capabilities are
just as good as a local client.

The things I miss in both of these are:
   - you can't edit the contents of a received mail (eg to change the
     subject line to something meaningful, or adjust the threading)
   - that they don't also handle nntp news.
