Hi, In the rough, virus prone and someone-might-steal-your-precious-hardware environment that we operate, usign IMAP instead of POP3 to read emails is always a good idea. You can read you mail offline, but the server keeps a copy. Also, the synchronisation protocal that IMAP uses, is much more efficitent than that of POP3 (should you decide to leave your email on the server with a POP3 account.)
But biggest advantages: if your laptop crashes or is nicked, your email is still there and you can use webmail & offline email reading on the same account. rgds, Reinier Battenberg Director Mountbatten Ltd. +256 782 801 749 www.mountbatten.net Be a professional website builder: www.easysites.ug On Thursday 23 July 2009 16:06:35 Stephen S.
