it is probably what you need..... the word according to Lord is that POP3 will be outmoded by this eventually.....Bman™ said:what is imap
Significantly with IMAP your emails will by definition be retained serverside - in fact I believe the client becomes far less relevant since many operations are taken care of serverside.
This by definition would remove whatever problems you had - making whatever system accessing your email see exactly the same without any need for manipulation or configuration on your part.
The same could be said for using the GMAIL WEB interface - altough the mechanics of operation are vastly different I guess.
