Hi,

This is related to the company’s email. The company is using apps.rackpace.com for the email

I am not sure whether it is a POP3 or IMAP

Somebody would provide an explanation please

Hi Dan,

Need more clarification and confirmation please ....
- This is your statement " ...If you delete an email from one device, it will have no impact on the other devices."
- If I have 3 devices: A, B and C
- I configured A with POP 3, then B & C with IMAP
- this is another your statement " ...If you delete an email from one of your devices it will be deleted from all your devices on the next sync."

My questions:
If my setting as the above (only A with POP 3 and the rests with IMAP), all my old emails at B & C would be deleted? Please explain and confirm

Thank you

Hi Dan,

Thank you for the explanation.

There is one more things if it is OK with you (Or I should do another posting)

This is not related to this posting, but it is related to the CONNECTION of POP 3 and IMAP
- I am still confused related to the connection of POP 3 and IMAP
- My understanding: The connection of POP 3 is "dialup" and the connection of IMAP is "ethernet "; is it true?

Thanks

tjie
