Support - Email - iMap
IMAP is the best option for your home computer. When you are using
another computer to check your email web mail is recommended due to
its ease of use.
IMAP allows you to leave the messages on the server, and thus be able to check
all your mail from other locations. The prudent user will always download a
copy of their messages to their home computer as a backup. (MonkeyBrains.net is not responsible for lost email left on the server!)
