Just my 2 cents on this. I still use POP3 (concurrently with IMAP) simply because I've encountered on more than one occasion (maybe a software bug, misunderstanding of what the option in software settings meant, or some misclick accident) where Thunderbird implicitly cleared out the older offline messages. So while I know IMAP is supposed to be the right solution especially for syncing sent emails, sometimes it just feels safer to have the "wrong" solution as a backup too. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
