I also like the idea of downloading mails from the server to a local machine. To me it 'feels' more secure. ;)
Ask yourself what would happen if your machine crashed or was stolen. How would you rescue your mail? I certainly trust that my mail service (FastMail) has a more robust backup system than I have!
For me, this is one of the great benefits of IMAP, the other being that I can access identical mail structures from wherever I happen to be without a lot of fiddly synchronisation every day. -- Regards Clive Taylor ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.62.09 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
