I use MAPI/IMAP at work because for that usage it works best but still
use POP for personal because, up to recently it has also been the best
choice. My life is changing to be more on the go, less time at home on
y personal computer but I still want local, filtered and sorted archives
of everything. I have to much personal E-mail to keep it all on the
server. I'm thinking this dual, IMAP at work, POP at home may be the
solution, or perhaps IMAP at both and the filters move to local folders.
I'm still trying to work this out.
It would be nice if Android had some sort of SPAM filtering so that
after I kill the SPAM on my phone I wouldn't have to deal with it again
on the personal computer.
Considering that accessing e-mail on a phone is slower and more
cumbersome than in a computer, storage is more limited, and downloading
messages may cost you depending on your data plan, processing spam in a
portable device (phone/tablet) is generally not seen as the best
solution. Server-side filtering tends to give you a better experience,
as long as the filter is not prone to false positives. Even so, a
remote-storage (IMAP/Exchange ActiveSync) solution usually gives you
easy access to the spam folder, so you can check for those pesky false
positives.
Anyway, if you delete a spam message via IMAP with your phone, it
shouldn't reappear later in your computer, no matter if you use POP or
IMAP on the PC. But I'm unaware of any client-side spam filter for
Android (or iOS, for that matter)
Yes that is what I'm finding.
I guess phones are not quite powerful enough yet and still lack enough
memory for many functions.
I don't want to forward though a third party for privacy reasons and the
idea of server side filtering means I need to log into that server to
check the SPAM folder for false positives. That is easy on a PC, but a
PITA on a phone so I figured phone side filtering, if it existed, would
probably be the best solution.
Anyway thanx for all your advice and comments. It has been very helpful.
I think I'm going to try IMAP on phone POP on PC for now and then
perhaps move the PCB to IMAP eventually. I just haven't worked out the
automated remove from server before it gets to full aspect yet.
