| 604799 | 2007-10-24 22:41:00 | We use IMAP. Use a US hosting service that provides the email server. I use Thunderbird as my client on my notebook but can also check it on Outlook Express on my desktop. Mail stays in sync so have complete copy of email on both machines, and on the web for webmail. Thunderbird works so much better than Outlook though. Only have Outlook on the desktop cause I never used to use email on that very much and never got round to installing anything else. | Biggles (121) | ||
