[Electronics-talk] considering switching email providers

[Christopher Chaltain]

I'm not sure I follow the message below, but I want my email synced 
between my devices specifically because I don't want to deal with the 
same message more than once, which is exactly why I switched from POP3 
to IMAP. If I move a message to a folder on my smart phone or tablet 
then it's in that folder when I check it on my PC. If I delete a message 
on my PC then I never see it on my mobile devices.

You can also mess with the POP3 settings so that messages you delete on 
your mobile device are deleted from the server and when you check your 
messages on the PC they're downloaded to your PC and deleted from the 
server.

I for one am not sure why anyone wouldn't use IMAP and wouldn't want 
their messages synced across their devices, but I'm only familiar with 
how I use email and I would never presume to know more about what 
someone else wants to do with their email then they know themselves.
