IMAP can be the way to go if you're accessing your email from multiple
clients and you want to use the cloud to sync your email across all of
those clients. I wouldn't say it's superior in every way though. Some
people don't want to have their email stored in the cloud. POP can also
perform better. If you're accessing your email from just one system then
IMAP may not be the way to go.
BTW, as far as I know AOL, Apple, Yahoo, Microsoft and Google all
provide free email service. You may also want to check your ISP as well.
I used to have an account on Road Runner, and I now have a second
account on SuddenLink, which I use in the way you describe below
Eleanor. I'm sure a Google search will give you the list of the best
free email providers. I don't know which of these would have accessible
interfaces though.

Hello everyone. Just look for a provider that supports IMAP. It's superior to
POP in every way. Once configured with an accessible client, you can manage
your email from the client.

What do you mean by an accessible email provider? As long as you can get the
POP or IMAP settings, any email provider is accessible with an accessible local
client. Are you talking about an accessible web interface? I know AOL used to
have a good accessible web interface, but other than Google, I haven't used an
email provider's web interface in forever.

Hi all
I know this is a bit of a random question, but I'm looking to set up another
e-mail account as well as the Gmail one I already have. So was just wondering
if anyone could recommend any other e-mail providers which are as
good/accessible as Gmail? I have my Apple training session this afternoon, so
any suggestions before then would be much appreciated, then I can get them to
help me set it up. My main reason for having one is so I can have a rescue
e-mail for my Apple security, though I am also in the process of trying to sort
out 2-step verification for that (if that works then as I understand it the
e-mail address will become irrelevant).
But nevertheless, any ideas on accessible e-mail providers would be much
appreciated, as it's always good/useful to know.
Thanks.
Eleanor
Many thanks.
