Still more questions about imap. As I understand it, with an imap account all email remains on the server in folders the user sets up. If the rules one sets for incoming email (for instance, I have a rule that places all the mail from this listserve into a folder I have named macuser group) resides within one's email program, how does it get into the folders on the server?
And does having email set up as imap rather than pop affect the mail when one checks mail from a web browser?
