How many computers do you have connected to the same IMAP mail account?

At present I have one computer running Win 7 . I am trying to use Seamonkey for
both browsing and mail . As mentioned in previous posts I have been using the
Webmail interface to read / reply my mail on the ISP's mailserver. My mail has
piled up and the postmaster is after me to clear some space :-)
I would like to download all the mail (inbox/sent etc) to my computer and
delete all mail on the ISP's server. The ISP recommends using IMAP rather than
POP mail. I looked at the settings for mail in Seamonkey and the choices
confuse me. I hate to make the wrong choices and loose all that data.
Under Mail & News groups Account settings -> copies & folders->
When sending messages place a copy Sent Folder [1] folder on xxx @ shaw.ca or
[2] local folder
There are similar choices for message archives,drafts and templates but no
mention of inbox .
Under Mail & News groups Account settings ->synchronization & space , there is a place to
tick for "keep messages for this account on this computer" but nothing else .
So I am confused and concerned about messing things up :-)

I have 3 computers that I use for access to 1 IMAP account on 1&1
Internet ISP and I love that they are synchronized so that what is
deleted on one is deleted on all. But, I do have the problem of running
out of space on the server. Deleting the Trash helps but every once in
a while I have to clear out my Inbox.
Since you are using only 1 computer the easiest solution to "How do you
setup synchronisation with simultaneous deletion of the source?" is to
set up a POP mail account with your ISP in the mail client portion of
Sea Monkey.
Initially, set up POP to read but Leave Mail on server. Some eMails do
not allow this, yahoo comes to mind. Once you satisfy yourself that you
can delete from the POP mail Inbox on your computer, etc. without
deleting mail on your ISP's server and deleted mail from your ISP's
server has no effect on what has already been downloaded to your
computer you can set up POP mail to Delete Mail from the server as it is
downloaded.
I have POP mail accounts set up on all 3 of my computers but they are
not used and do not download until I am ready. When my ISP complains I
download into all POP accounts and then empty out my ISP IMAP Inbox and
trash folder. My choice is to empty out myself instead of letting the
3rd POP mail account Delete Mail from the server as it is downloaded.
Also, use [1]. Could not find: "->synchronization & space ....."
Hope this helps.
Larry
