That's not part of the web.

Given that most people's email is probably through Web apps these days, that's probably not effectively true.

Even if you use a desktop client, email is part of the world wide web.

It seems that I was confused with the definition of the web. I was synonymizing it with Internet. So never mind, email is not part of the web.
