The reason I use POP is that in some of the countries I visit, the internet is very slow or even off for periods of time. That's why it's better to have the mail on the computer (start downloading and go to have dinner first), opening them with IMAP would be excruciatingly slow. If I see on my mobile phone (using IMAP and only donwloading headers) that there is an a mail with a large attachment that is not urgent, I use the dispatcher to choose to not download it now, as it would slow down the process of downloading all the other mails. Here in Thailand, I use POP even though the speed it quite OK, because I like keep messages for years and I don't want to keep them on the server. If you download by POP (when travelling) and there are 5000 messages on the server, download slows down considerably. I have over 100,000 messages in my company account on my computer, in well over 100 folders being fed by well over 100 filters. -- Cheers, Thomas. http://thomas.fernandez.hat-gar-keine-homepage.de/ Message reply created with The Bat! 5.8.10 under Windows 7 6.1 Build 7601 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
