Tessa, POP3 was never meant to be a protocol to be used on multiple devices where really what you want is to sync your mail. I think nowadays where people have laptops, tablets and smartphones and maybe want to access their mail on the web from time to time that services like Outlook.com or Gmail are the way to go. The advantage with one of these services also is that you are independent from your ISP and if you ever move or even just change ISP you don't have to worry about changing your email address, letting all your contacts know about the new address and updating all the log-ins where you used it. Personally I think Outlook.com which uses Exchange Active Sync is a better protocol than IMAP, but I'm sure others have different opinions.

The email is a little more signifficant because I have almost 3000 messages and often when I open my mail and it checks for new mail I have to wait minutes before I can actually get the screen to do anything. I touch it and it doesn't respond until some time later when i get repeated clicks. Once the clicks have been gone through than I can access the screen, but sometimes it takes a while. Well my ISP recently suggested due to it upgrading that we all switch to imap? but I haven't and am still using pop3 and I assume since my phone picked up my email settings from my pc that it is also using pop3. Anyway, thanks again. Tessa -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. Post a new message to VIPhone by emailing [email protected].
