| − | | |
| − | Most eMail clients support two different methods: POP3 and IMAP. freecycle.org does '''NOT''' support POP3 for the following reasons:
| |
| − | * POP3 Usually downloads all your mail, and then removes it from the server. This means the following:
| |
| − | ** Shared-User Mailboxes - one person removes the mail from inbox witout others being aware of it
| |
| − | ** If your machine fails, you lose the mail on it. IMAP keeps a copy on the server.
| |
| − | ** IMAP means that the PC and Web folder lists are the same.
