CK> Hello, CK> I have just realized that our mail server supports both POP3 CK> access and IMAP access. Which do you think I should use? I read the CK> same mail account from work and home, so it would be really nice to CK> see the same messages at both places. However, I don't really see what CK> IMAP could give me over POP using the BAT. The one advantage of IMAP that I might like is that the mail is stored on the server. So if I have a PC crash, my mail is still on the server and I can retrieve it. Although if your provider crashes, are they backing up their mail servers? Maybe not. Something to think about. I also have the option of POP and IMAP, and I go with POP. I just leave the mail on the server at all of my mail client locations, except one where it downloads the mail and deletes it from the server. That way, I can still see e-mail wherever I'm at. -MikeD ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60m FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com
