I still use pop3, all be it old fashioned. The essential difference seems to be where, ultimately, the messages get kept/stored. I have the pc set to delete off server after download, and the phone set to leave copy on server after download. I seem to have changed something as deleting off the phone, or one of them, does seem to delete off server too; maybe that got set to iMap some how.
But I let desktop pc control and clear stuff off the server once done, I'm not too worried about seeing it again as I often like to keep copies of things in two places.

Hi again everyone, OK, I honestly do not want to start a war on this list. That is not at all my intention. But I am a bit confused. Can someone please explain to me what the difference is between I am a P, and pop three? Before I ever had an iPhone or really iPhone in general, I had my email sent to pop three on my computer. But since I got my iPhone, years ago, I have always had it set to high am a B. That was recommended to me by a few people. So I really did not think much about it. All I know is, when I delete messages off my phone, I don't want to go back to my laptop and see them again. That would really be annoying! Also, when I delete messages off my laptop, I do not want to come back to my iPhone and see them yet again. Again, this would be annoying! No, I would like to know, what is the all folder in Gmail? Why is it there? Can I get rid of it? Also, why is there an important Boulder? Most of the mail in there, seems to be mail that of been in my inbox at one time or another. This is ridiculous! Can I get rid of this folder as well? Any help would be very much appreciated. I don't like it when things computer me. Or annoy me! So I would love the help. Thank you!
