In process of migrating to a totally Apple apps / iPhone / Mobile Me
set up.
Using latest apps and Leopard.
I've traditionally used POP for email settings, but I was reading an
article on the web which mentioned something like "why would anyone
use POP these days when there is IMAP?".
I don't understand the differences between POP and IMAP (happy to
receive an education in layman's terms) but as someone in a big rush
to just get this whole thing set up properly, is there a clear cut
option in terms of which I should use? Also, does it matter that I
will be using this set up also in the UAE?
I have an email account on Mail set up as POP at the moment, but maybe
that's the reason why I'm not seeing emails on the iPhone despite
having gone through the Sync process?
As an aside, if I have my iPhone on the 3G Optus network, as well as
connected to my home wireless internet account, if, say, surfing the
web on the iPhone, is it the Optus network that is accessed, or is it
the home internet account? Preference is the latter because I'm not
chewing up the limited download capacity I have with Optus mobile
contract. I did ask an Optus iPhone rep, who seemed to be in a distant
land and largely clueless.
Grateful for thoughts and answers.
Cheers, Steven
