1373108 2014-04-23 01:25:00 Because some people like to actually keep a local copy of their email. We do this at my work copy emails for a particular job into the clients folder, can't do that fro the browser and who wants to spend hours copy and pasting emails

Exactly gary.

Thanks for the re-enforcement.

1373109 2014-04-23 02:58:00 Gmail servers are:

Incoming: IMAP.gmail.com (not pop3)
Outgoing: SMTP.gmail.com

Thats ONLY if you're using the POP protocol.
If you're using IMAP, then sure, it's correct. It depends on what you've enabled on your account.

Are oranges more reliable than apples?

1373113 2014-04-24 03:31:00 Yeah there's no "reliability" difference, just different methods of getting your emails really. Chilling_Silence (9)
