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.

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
