That's certainly not the best of both possible worlds, even if you could do it. The one machine with POP would make a joke of the IMAP. If it downloaded every message OFF the server you wouldn't have functioning IMAP on the other computers. You'd have nothing. And if you left messages ON the server, why use POP? You can do all that with IMAP: just set up an IMAP rule on your master computer to download every message. If for some reason it's important, you can add an action to the rule the copy every message to a local folder as it downloads. Or you can do that every couple of months, once, as I do. You can still archive those saved messages (to MBOX files, and/or dragged in to an Archive directory). You can even do that directly from the IMAP folder if you want to. > > Also, is it possible using an IMAP account to easily download your mail - in > which case I would be able to perform hard drive archiving from the imap > account?
