Re: [iPad] How email has changed with smart devices

 

I cannot see enough settings in iOS to configure that deeply. I am using the Yahoo preset in iOS. Yes I see all my folders, the new emails are not in there unless I go to the folder and they download. I do hear what you are saying but I dont think the iOS handles IMAP as fully as it can do on an installed client on a PC or Mac.

If say I was managing files on my PC prior to a trip when I knew I would be offline, then I open iOS mail to let it update. When I arrive at my offline destination, I wont have updated folders or attachments ready to read, I cant see any options to allow that.

No it wouldn't Tony.

There are many different ways to setup an IMAP client and/or an IMAP Server. And then there is Yahoo and Gmail.

If I go into my iPhone or my iPad, my entire server folder structures, messages and attachments are mirrored on the iPhone or iPad. This includes my iCloud account, my ADS accounts, my IV accounts and my CO accounts.

The same occurs on my rMBP in Apple Mail.

It all depends on how the server is configured and how the client is configured.

An IMAP client would duplicate the ISP server. Emails, folders, and attachments.

The iOS app doesn't, unless you click every attachment that arrives. 
Also, folders are not downloaded when you open the iOS app. If you go to a folder with new emails, then they will download

For a device that may have as little as 16GB storage, these are good features

An email client set to use IMAP, say on a PC, or a Mac would duplicate the server in full and in total. POP will download in full and in total only the Inbox.  IMAP downloads everything to the computer, mirroring the server. This allows a "proper" email client such as Outlook, Apple Mail to give you 100%, whereas webmail does the same thing but on a browser UI

It is a normal email client is all senses of the word.

What you are dealing with is an IMAP account.

That isnt a client in the normal sense of the word. My emails, and any attachments on them are not stored on my iOS devices AFAIK

So they act as webmail, reading and working from, in my case, the Yahoo servers where my email is stored.

Does that mean you don't use the built in email client that is part of iOS?  I think it's one on of its features.

Many years ago I used Outlook but my computer crashed and I lost all my mail which is one reason why I switched to webmail.  Another reason is I switched my ISP provider so in that case I even lost my email address.  Two lessons learned the hard way.

I, too, dislike webmail. Eudora is nearly perfect, but it's become unfashionable, and there's no longer a deep-pocketed developer.
