2/11 \_ Is POP back up? Haven't got it to work since Soda got back
up. (SSL http://soda.csua.berkeley.edu port 995)
\_ Legitimately curious, why use POP when you IMAP is available to you?
-dans
\_ Uh, isn't IMAP still down? I still can't access it
-pmw
\_ I neither know nor care. I forward mail off soda to a box
where I run IMAP. :) -dans
\_ In the past (1997) when I used IMAP, it would mark my messages
as "read" when I read them on my client machine. I don't like
this, I like to have the messages as two distinct instances, one
on Soda and one on my home machine. If I read it on my client I
want it to still show and unread on Soda. Also, IMAP is more for
people with always on connections, which I don't have. That's
why I prefer offline processing (Pop) vs interactive processing
(IMAP).
\_ Hmm, I don't understand why you'd want things you've read not
to be marked as read, but if that's how you work, more power
to you. It's worth noting that many modern IMAP clients, eg
OS X's Mail.app, have excellent offline modes, which serves
the same purposes as POP, but with IMAP's richer semantics.

\_ Thanks, maybe I'll check it out again. 10 yrs of software
development may have fixed my intial hang-ups. |
