If you decide to use IMAP on a desktop email client, we will be unable to provide support. Some email clients do not allow the ability to disable ActiveSync, which can cause emails to be deleted. If emails are deleted from the desktop email client while using IMAP, they cannot be recovered." Perhaps they are just trying to cover their a88 , in case email gets deleted , thats why they dont recommend it on desktop? ?	1101 (13337)

It seems Telecom don't recommend it for some reason. Reliable? Yahoo is notorious for it's unreliability. Why anyone bothers is beyond me, get yourself a Gmail account. No issues with them or IMAP.	pctek (84)

Which is why I am sticking to POP for the mean time, until I am really forced to go IMAP, I heard that Outlook 2013 encourages that a lot and who knows with future versions. But these days my friends use more IM than email these days ...	Nomad (952)
