[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1508658, member: 234411"] Hi [B]Barry...[/B] - as already suggested, POP3 is like having a mail box @ home, i.e. once the mail is delivered to your clients, then the message(s) should be deleted from your website (unless, the option to save a copy has been setup?). IMAP as already stated will allow your clients to download their messages to one or more of their devices, but the email will remain on your website (again unless there is an option once downloaded to delete the message from your server) - THUS, you have many different choices - please provide some more information as to your exact needs - IF you cannot afford to lose an email then you need a copy if using POP3 or you need to make sure that your clients cannot have their messages deleted if using IMAP. :) [/QUOTE]
