I am considering moving to IMAP, I have 5 pop accounts that I check on, I have never used IMAP before, and I am wondering what will change.
What I would really like to see is someone putting up a screen shot of E-rage folder listing with IMAP accounts. Does this mean that I will have 5 "groups" of "accounts" in my "folders on my computer" area? All 5 of my pop accounts get filtered by rules that put them in folders, there is no segregation of each account once they hit e-rage, with IMAP, would there then be segregation? If so, and I don't really like this, can it be changed? For example, I don't want 5 junk email folders just cause I have 5 imap accounts. How does the storage system work, can I elect to take files from the server and store them locally? If I were IMAP login from another computer that had never checked email in e-rage before, would I have to wait to download ALL my email again, assuming it is all on the remote server? Does it only download perhaps the subjects and other misc header data, and then when I click on the message It would fetch it all? How does searching all my email work in a IMAP scenario, since the messages may or may not all be local? Is there some mandated folder structure, when I login via IMAP to squirellmail, I see: �Inbox ��INBOX.Drafts ��INBOX.Sent ��INBOX.Trash Are these fixed in stone? Can I rename these as well? Finally, how would I get all my local pop email back up to the IMAP account? Does the account matter, as in would I not be allowed to put to the IMAP server where the to: is not the accont the message was originally sent to? -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Haneda Tel: 415.898.2602 http://www.newgeo.com Fax: 313.557.5052 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Novato, CA U.S.A. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
