I'm not sure why there's all this talk about not using POP3. You can leave messages on the server with POP3 as well, it's just not as fully featured as IMAP. Some webmail clients *do* support POP3 while leaving the messages on the server. In fact, I think that the PHP functions are the same for both IMAP and POP. > > Besides, the whole reason for using a web-based client > is to be able to log in from various computers.
