Hi, Yes, you'll need to find out the Imap settings, instead of the Pop3 settings. The main one you'll need is the Imap incoming server and the port number if it is not standard. Outgoing SMTP remains the same.

Do I need to make any changes under accounts for each device? Do I have to change some settings on the Plusnet website? - Andy On 25 Jul 2013, at 22:29, Steve Nutt <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > 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.

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
