TBH I long ago gave up trying to juggle multiple machines and syncing
mail. I just use IMAP and let somebody else worry about it. In fact I'd
do that even if I was the somebody else, as I once used to be. People
say there are reasons for using POP, and perhaps there are for some
people, but frankly I've never been convinced by any of them.
Local email lets me read and respond while offline, such as on a train.
And it is so much faster :-)
Sure, but that is not something specific to POP3. Most IMAP clients can
do that as well.
Agreed, and I did not want to imply otherwise. When I used IMAP long ago, it somehow did not keep mail on the server enough for fetchmail to recognize that I still wanted it downloaded on the other machine(s). That is why I gave up. Likely there was an error in my configuration.
That is definitely not how IMAP is supposed to work. There must have
been something deleting the email on download which is very strange.
The whole point of IMAP is that all the mail stays on the server and can
be accessed from multiple locations at the same time.
