James,
OK. I will focus on IMAP. Sadly, I know very little about it; other
than several List members use it.
I use Mozilla ThunderBird v3.1.3 on only one of my clients. Client is
XPproSP3.
Email is NOT used on any other client.
Your last share re, "...I'm surprised you're using ISP provided email
though, rather than gmail or whatnot?" is very confusing to me. Can
you expand?
I do NOT run a local private LAN dedicated Mail Server.
I do not have a GMail account.
o-I get email via Yahoo to ATT's (my ISP) email servers (POP/SMTP.
o-I get email via my new fios ISP's email servers (POP/IMAP/SMTP).
o-Can get email via a browser web portal for Hotmail (http?).
o-Can get emait via a browser web portal for Lycos (http?).

IMAP is absolutely the superior system :)
I use it with Outlook on two windows machines, Mail.app on two Macs and
on my iphone, my read status for messages and whatnot is all kept synced
up and it's really rather swish.
I'm surprised you're using ISP provided email though, rather than gmail
or whatnot?

I have switched ISP's. I now use fiber. The service is blindingly fast!
Saved 40yrs for this day.
I have both IMAP or POP/POP3 available for email.
Thoughts/suggestions?
I suspect more reading/learning........... :)
Best,
