I'm thinking about changing to IMAP. Now if only I could ever find a way to save messages from this Thunderbird profile, I'm sure I'd do it. Cheers, Marcio

I use pop3. I have no problems with it. Sometimes I been away for a week or more and found a thousand messages waiting on the server. Works for me.

2018.4.1 next version nvda release date please ?

With my old internet provider, I had a pop 3 account. After I got to a certain amount of messages, my email started bouncing. I don't think people are using pop so much anymore but I could be wrong. I

But, just for the ease of changing computers when you need to or e-mail clients when you want or need to, even on a single machine, it is unwise. The amount of work needed (if you want to port your

Thanks for the comprehensive clarification of what you meant by "unwise". I agree that IMAP is better-featured, supports multiple devices more easily, and places the data retention responsibility on

I have it set up like that on mac. Where ever my pc curser is my mouse curser follows etc. Where ever my mouse curser is my pc curser follows. I love it and clicking is way easier when I have to. Hmm.

Yes you can. I have about 200 thousand messages on gmail's server and it doesn't really complain at me. You can also clean them up using iMap as well. I use iMap and wish that pop 3 would just go away

If you are using more than one device to work with e-mail, Pop isn't a good system, at least in a lot of cases. If you have a crashing problem with your e-mail program, crashes may corrupt messages

What I like about imap is that if you use more than one machine to retrieve messages, you can look at your folder structure from anywhere you are logged into your Email. My personal combination is
