Re: Problems using my ntlworld email when not connected directly to my ntl cable mode

If you tell your client (outlook) to use IMAP mail instead of POP mail, you will be fine.

You can connect via IMAP from any client and always see all your mail / folders etc.


In a nutshell, POP connections download mail from the mailserver to the client, then delete it from the mailserver. If a 2nd POP client connects, there is no mail (it was dleted)
IMAP connections download mail from the mailserver and mark it as downloaded.
If a 2nd IMAP client connects, they will also download all mail & folder structure.
