DC> And will you be switching to POP for your phone? No. With POP I can set the machine to download the messages and attachments while I go and make a coffee. Or take a shower (in earlier times with even slower internet connections). Then everything is on my computer and I can work fast. With IMAP I have only the headers on the computer. I want to open a mail and the attachments, it takes ages which I have to spend in front of the computer. I used to have a phone that downloaded messages by POP, but that is nonsense. My iPhone uses IMAP and I only download the headers. Mostly I can judge from the subject line whether I need to read the whole mail and then, whether I actually need to download the attachments. This is very different from the normal working environment: The phone is a crutch I use when I am travelling and do not have access to my laptop. For actaul working, POP is best. -- Cheers, Thomas. http://thomas.fernandez.hat-gar-keine-homepage.de/ Message reply created with The Bat! 5.1.6.2 under Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 5.1.6.4 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
