Why has it taken me

July 18, 2007 by Michael Boyle

Why has it taken me

so long to discover the joys of IMAP? I converted the other day because I was curious and have continued to be frustrated by POP in a multi-client multi-location email environment… and other than the fact that it doesn’t work with Yahoo Mail (my webmail client of choice) or GMail (what I would prefer to use, though it doesn’t work for me very well), it’s a revelation.

    I use fastmail.fm IMAP with my own domain names. Pair it with ChatterEmail software for Treo and you get true push email for a lot less $ than a Blackberry data plan. Downside: it eats up your battery like nobody’s business.
