    Quick question, I've always used POP accounts for email with previous hosting companies and I was able to open them on Mail (Mac) and webmail. Which one do you use? POP or IMAP?

    I read that with mt, if you use a POP account, and use Mail for emails, they get deleted from server. How can I check them on Mail at home and webmail on the internetz at work or on the road? Sorry if my question sounds dumb...

    • You'd need to set it up to leave the mail on the server for webmail. This is backwards, I would do it all through gmail.Jnr_Madison
    • You can run all your domain mail through gmail and only have to deal with one email program.Jnr_Madison
    • You could still use mail at home by setting up IMAP and checking gmail from there.Jnr_Madison
    • If, like me, you switch to gmail 100%, you can use IMAP to upload old email from Mail into gmail, like I done.Jnr_Madison
    • Basically the problem you have just now, is that two have both mail and webmail work you need to leave all mail on your server, which is not ideal.Jnr_Madison
    • server, which is not ideal and why I said it was backwards.Jnr_Madison
    • I don't know if I've explained this very well, sorry, lol.Jnr_Madison
    • I use IMAP, so I can read/sort/delete mail on any of my Macs (Mail), or on webmail.ribit
    • Leaving on the server is best.. (I don't get why you wouldn't want to?) Its just like offic enetwork mail system.. read anywhere..ribit
    • ..and manage from any device you log into..ribit
