[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1788759, member: 83420"] Hi Bob There may be certain circumstances where this is desirable. Say you're away from home with just an iPhone or iPad. You deal with emails on the road, but would ideally (a) like to delete them from the iDevice whilst (b) being able to store them on your iMac when you return home. Dead easy with POP3 account. Less easy with IMAP. That said, my accounts are IMAP. With iCloud, I had no choice. With British Telecom (BT), they forced me to change from POP3 to IMAP when I got macOS Sierra - raised questions of compatibility which I think was nonsense. I could have fought the issue, but struggling through interminable layers of administration to do this, defeated my will to live;D Ian [/QUOTE]
