Thanks, Diane! As to this quote from that page: " The disadvantage, of course, is that you must have Internet access in order to view your mail at all, since it is never copied to your local computer." Isn't there a way to set up Mail, or and Entourage to Download the emails, so that they can be viewed off line, thus combining the best of POP and IMAP?! In my case, I'll be getting iPhone 4 and my present Powerbook G4 laptop will become my secondary Mac, when I buy MacBook Pro soon! > >> As to http://www.mailsteward.com/ > > Never used it. > >> Can One Entourage Database contain POP to IMAP Accounts in it? > Yes That is GREAT NEWS!!!! So, maybe a way to set up Mail, or and Entourage to Download the emails, so that they can be viewed off line, thus combining the best of POP and IMAP - is this -- set up POP and IMAP Accounts to access same User's Mail on Mobile Me. IMAP will display it identically on all my Macs, and iPhone 4 (only shorter timer frame of message), and POP will Automatically Download All My Messages to both MacBook Pro and PB G4 laptops! Thus Best of both worlds? Or am I misunderstanding something? Would there be a risk to that kind of setup? Can it cause Data Loss, corruption? I am still not sure how iPhone 4 will fit into that picture! But, obviously it has to, cause POP and IMAP have surely evolved since OS9 Days:)! Can one set up iPhone 4 to Download only a Month worth of email, and email older than 2 month gets Deleted from iPhone 4 automatically? Any iPhone 4 users out there who can educate us about that?
