Hello, i have a "meta-question". imap-issues are being discussed on this list quite frequently. i wonder what the benefit of imap generally is? if you have access to broadband flatrate internet (as many people in agglomerations here in germany do) i can't think of the benefit of managing my mails on a remote server. if you consider this question silly or off-topic please give me a hint where i could find an answer. thanks. jan
