what is IMAP access. I'm trying to decide if I want to make gmail my main
email program.
Charles can explain it better. I have a slight understanding.
However, BEWARE or the internet information about IMAP.
https://neomailbox.com/imap_email.html
This link is "DEAD WRONG" about IMAP and other mail capability.
Plus, if you use a dialup ( no high speed ) Any web based mail will be
slow as molasses, ....... period.
Even then, the Internet is vulnerable. Last week a construction company
cut a large cable on the East Coast. Many parts of the internet was DOWN
for 24 hours before it could be repaired.
Without doubt, the most reliable is to pick up your mail and transfer it
all to your computer, no matter if you get 100 emails per day or 500.
I use 3 mail servers and 3 email addresses to beat the internet and mail
server problems.
You are not limited to one mail software ( nor one bogus web browser ) You
can have 3, 4, of 5, all set up and working.
I think my mail software would handle 15 email addresses and maybe that
many mail servers. I normally limit it to 3 or 4.
Use Web mail only as an emergency measure. Some say they use it because
they can check mail from anywhere. Of course all my mail servers have
Webmail any time I want to use it.
I have always been able to check mail from any place I travel.
I may have been a "little" wrong about gMail. But, it was because the fool
that wrote the web page did a lousy job explaining.
I understand the English language. Some of the things said there are
incomplete and some things were not stated.
The hackers are getting better and working longer hours. I think some are
trained and may in fact be terrorists.
I never like any situation I have no control over. By using multiple email
addresses and mail servers, I always have one working no matter what the
internet does, most of the time.
Any other questions? Someone here can answer them, usually.
Their answer may be a bit biased, like mine.
I have set up mail on hundreds of computers, maybe thousands.
