Hi,

 

For several devices, you are better off using Imap because you can sync
directly with the server, so if you delete an email on one device, it gets
deleted on the server.  In fact the Emails are not stored on the device,
unless you specifically open them.

 

All the best

 

Steve

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
