Hi, Lisa. As a couple of others have already said, you will need to configure both your email client on your home PC and the one on your phone to the IMAP protocol. IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol. Your POP3 email account on your PC's email client will have to be converted to IMAP because of the differences in how the two protocols work. POP which stands for Post Office Protocol was the original email protocol. With it, you are actually downloading your messages to your local PC for viewing at your leisure. With IMAP, your messages reside in the cloud on an internet server and you are viewing the subjects and a snippet of the message in your email client unless you actually open the message to read the entire thing.
The steps to convert your PC's email account from POP to IMAP will differ depending on the email client you use on your PC. If you have any POP messages stored on your local PC that you want to save, you will have to go through an export process and then import them into the converted IMAP account if you want to keep them for access in the converted account. Once you have both your PC and phone email set for IMAP, think of all your mail residing in the cloud and you are accessing it with whatever device is convenient for you to do so. Any action you take with that device whether it be labeling a message, deleting it, etc. will take place on the cloud-based email and be reflected in whatever device you're using to manage your email. There are many resources available on the web that discuss specific steps on how to convert email accounts but they depend on the email client and the ISP. Post back if you still have questions.

I'm configuring my Frontier Email account which is POP3. I want to be able to download and read messages on either my Phone or PC once so I don't see them again when checking this account from either the PC or phone. Is this possible? Lisa Forget love, I'd rather fall into chocolate. Lisa Belville [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
