The only people I read making this claim are POP users who've never really tried or used the protocol for an extended period where it's advantages would be exploited. Once there's a need for working with the same mail in multiple locations, IMAP becomes an option. It may not be appropriate for a particular person's situation, however, just to requote the original query: ,----- / \ | I have a pc and a laptop.

Is any or all of this possible. `----- My instinctive response to the above would be to recommend using IMAP. The only situation where I wouldn't recommend IMAP as a solution for the above problem would be the lack of a broadband or LAN connection to the IMAP server. > Another drawback to using IMAP with 3.51.10 is that it is still not > usable for some people, per reports on TBBETA. Not usable for some. However, it's usable for some, myself being one of them.
