Hi Marie, the idea behind Imap is that you can read your mail from more than one location, as you're managing the mails directly from the server, rather than them downloading to your computer. Hope that helps. Why not join my Blind Hobbyist group?

I use imap to check and delete spam from the plusnet spam folder.I try to avoid logging in to their web mail since they leaked all those e-mailaddresses a year or so ago. (still get lots of spam as a result).Incidently, I have turned off their blatent spam blocking as some legitamatee-mails were being removed.

I'm thinking there could be a firewall issue with the other machine. All I have to do now is figure out how best to use this IMAP protocol or facility, or whatever it is.
