Hi Andy, It made perfect sense to me. Peter was asking if Gmail supports Imap which is the protocol we're talking about.

The below one is a point in case as far as I am concerned. I don't know about others, but I always try to express myself clearly when trying to help another, in a way that doesn't assume they will know what I'm talking about by being too cryptic. Being clear can also cut down list traffic as it reduces the need to reply with 'do you means " - Andy On 26 Jul 2013, at 10:40, Peter Beasley <pjbeasley23@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Does G mail support imap? > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Ibrahim Gucukoglu > To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2013 11:10 PM > Subject: [access-uk] Re: Help please with a Mail server issue > > Hi Andy. > > Plus.net provide IMAP email access, to simply set this up on each device, then you wont have to worry about mail synchronising issues as this is taken care of by the very nature of IMAP. There are extensive help pages on the Plus.net website which explain how you go about making this change, if you have trouble finding the information Ill do a little searching. > > All the best, Ibrahim. > > From: ANDY COLLINS > Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2013 8:49 PM > To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [access-uk] Help please with a Mail server issue > > Hi all - > > For a long time, I just had a single laptop where all my emails downloaded to. This is via pop3. I now have a MacBook and an iPhone and iPod also set up to receive mail. Thing is, when I've downloaded mail to either the Mac or the phone/pod, when I open the laptop [the original machine where mail was set up] everything downloads again to it. I'd like to have mail removed from the server when downloaded, so does this mean I need to change from pop3 to imap? If so, what do I need to do for each device, or on my providers website. > > Thanks - > > Andy ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
