Okay, Patrick, that raises a question. I stick to POP and always have,

and my bride and I each have both iPhones and iPads which we regularly

use to fetch our mail traffic when traveling, plus I have a laptop

running Fedora which I sometimes haul along on trips so that I'll have a

better keyboard. None of these devices have any difficulty retrieving

mail from the POP server at the ISP that hosts our mail. Except that

every so often, following one of the frequent iOS updates to the Pad,

my POP-server password has disappeared and has to be reloaded :-)

I should maybe add that my wife's address and mine are on the same domain,

fdi.us, since I own that one.

So what compelling reason would there be for us to change to IMAP?

We danged sure don't do any "sharing" with anyone else,and being 

retired, foresee no chance that we ever would. So - IMAP - ??? Why?

Evo 3.18.5.2 under Ubuntu 16.04

Thanks, 

Brewster
