Just a clarification.
Pop downloads the messages to your computer, and you can (generally)
tell your pop client to either delete or leave messages on the server.
Generally, I use pop when I want to make sure my disk quota on the
server isn't reached, as I can download the messages, and keep them on
my own machine.
Imap on the other hand works entirely on the server.
If you use imap as your mail protocol, none of the messages make it to
your computer, they are always on the server, and will remain so no
matter how many times you read them in the imap client.
The only way to remove them from the server is to delete them.
The problem with this approach (if you consider it a problem) is that
all of your messages remain on the server, and eat disk space, so if
you have a quota, every single message remaining on the imap server
contributes to the disk space used.
That's why generally, I use pop for my regular accounts, and only use
imap if I need to view messages when I'm not at home, or when I'd like
to be able to see the mailbox from multiple machines.
Hope this helps.

Oh, Adium or whatever it's called, yeah, gotta download that one. I
hear it works with msn too. Thanks muchly! I use imap so that it
stores all my messages on the google server and on the computer
where I happen to be. Pop doesn't do as much as imap.

correctly, grin.

Subject: [macvoiceover] How is VO getting on with Google Mail?
Hi all.
I recently got GMail. I was able to use VO to read it in Safari
after
finding the basic html version. Does anybody use the standard
version and
can you use the chat part of it? I use google talk in Windows and
hear there
is no mac version of that so I'd have to use the web version to
chat. What I
am asking is how many of google's services are accessible with
Safari using
VO?
Thanks.
Sara
