I use a comprimise here. I pull everything from my [email protected] inbox, deleting it. But my mail filing forwards a suite of messages to a separate account which is for my phone. So anything important sends a copy back out to the cloud. Well, a personal external server. Um, in the cloud :-( Likewise, any email I reply to sends the source message and the reply to that account. In this way my phone has access to a copy of the critical stuff and also any ongoing email discussions. Cheers, Cameron Simpson <[email protected]>
