I have just bought lappy and after some faffing got the wireless conenction to work.
I would like to access my email from the lappy without it downloading mail locally to it's hard drive, want to keep that stoered on the desktop. I presume you need to set up shares but not sure how to do that.
Email client Thunderbird, Lappy running Vitsa, Desktop XP.
Any help appreciated

| In that case you will want to use the IMAP protocol instead of POP, check your your email service providers help for the imap options/ servers. it will still download the mails locally but will leave a copy on the servers unlike pop which after 5 days I think deletes server side mails.

KILLFC (15/10/2007)
In that case you will want to use the IMAP protocol instead of POP,
Did a little bit of reading, IMAP the emails stay on the ISP server I think. So how does that work, do no emails get stored locally on your PC?
Are there any pros v cons for either IMAP or POP?

Yep I have already have hotmail, have an add-on that allows me to collect it from Thunderbird client which is way cool
Use the hotmail for web sites, online purchase etc. Keep spam out of my main address
Still would like to explore Imap vs POP though

| I haven't got a laptop yet, but when I do, I want to download my emails to the laptop and/or my desktop, depending what I was using first; also, I want to have a copy of My Documents, photos, etc, on both, and be all the same and up-to-date as possible. I was told that I should download Microsoft Synchronize ?, which is free ? I hope someone will comment, as I'm not sure if this will be any use to you - as I haven't read anything about how I am going to do what I want to yet either !! Speedee1
