I just check my old ISP who I still pay for using the old email address I had with them, and their FAQ says, POP only, no IMAP. I bet a lot of those ISP's that still provide email for customers only support POP3, they certainly never use to support IMAP and I can't see them adding it, it's no extra benefit to them and IMAP takes more CPU and storage resources (with pop being default delete on download). -- Tixy
