Hi TBTECH'ers, I've been reading these posts on how IMAP can do some interesting things when accessing email from different computers. I wanted to look into this but I can't find a step by step guide or overview on how to go about things. As a beginner I'm clueless and these are the kinds of things that come to my mind:
* What do I need? Do I need an ISP that offers IMAP accounts? * What if my ISP does not have IMAP, could I forward all my email from the POP account to an IMAP account on another ISP? * Can I install an IMAP server on one of my home computers and have it retrieve all the email I have on several of my POP accounts? * Could I then access all my email from my local IMAP server from different computers? Is this a good idea/setup? * How would using IMAP impact the way I backup email? * I don't have SSL/TLS with my current POP accounts, would IMAP add this or is it independent? * What are the practical limitations of The Bat! when it comes to supporting IMAP? * What potential problems can I anticipate with The Bat! My requirements are typical of a home user wanting to read emails from a desktop and wireless laptop while at home or on the road from several current POP accounts (business and personal). -- cheers! alien ..
