Hello Thomas, > While I don't agree that POP is the past,
Why not? There is general agreement that mobility is the future, everything goes mobile. People (will) access their email from their PC at home, their laptop, their netbook, their iPhone (or other smartphone), their TV, their cordless phone (already possible here) and so on. While this is more and more the case in people's personal lives, it's already an absolute necessity in business. And the solutions are - webmail (what most novices use) - Exchange (what most businesses use; TB's implementation being even worse than IMAP) - IMAP As you see, POP is not among those :-) I would even go as far to say that IMAP alone is not the future either. The trend in business goes definitely towards Exchange (not necessarily MS Exchange), as well as collaboration through at least a decent calendaring system (not to talk about synchronizing of contacts). Outlook is the leader here, and Thunderbird 3 will have calendaring integrated as well. -- Best regards, Carsten mailto:gutha...@gmail.com ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 4.2.10.12 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
