Question to the road warriors among you: How do you synchronize email between your laptop and the PC at your office after you return from a trip?


The solution to that is called IMAP and it's decades old. All your mail, including drafts and sent mail, is kept on a server. It's fast and reliable. Unfortunately it's not as common as POP. Get an ISP that supports IMAP and you'll be fine.


Interesting, I guess I should educate myself more about IMAP. My web hosting company does offer IMAP. Not sure about my ISP but for email it wouldn't matter because I am using the web host.

BTW some of your posts like the one further above (12:28am) come without a message body. Don't know why, could be my ISP's server, who knows.
