Mainly because I want all my email to be there for me in webmail as well, so if I were to travel, I would have it all. It "bugs" me that when I use webmail and send a email, it does not make it back to E-rage as a "sent item", IMAP of course cures this. I am not ready to take the plunge yet since there are a few areas that could bite me in the rear :-) If my email server were to have a hard drive failure, I could lose a lot of email were I not to download it on schedule. This also puts a bigger burden on me to add in faster hard drives to my email server, since IMAP is so I/O intense on the server, I would need SCSI or at least SATA 10K drives to offer it at all to any amount of users on my email server. It also ups the burden on me to backup the email server all the time, which can be hard since so many mailboxes are "in use" all the time. With POP is is simple. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- 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/>
