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

 

I agree. iOS mail app, if you choose a preset such as Yahoo, as I do, isn't what I term an email client or using IMAP. To me, it is mirroring the server, but excluding new emails in folders unless you check that folder, and excluding attachments unless you specifically download the attachment manually. I guess I could term it a lite client as it is installed, and uses lite IMAP behaviors, which is what it should do on advice that potentially has low storage. 

It doesnt include as far as I can see the options Chris mentions, it does allow you to limit the sync, again a good option for a low storage device

Within the IMAP settings, you can dictate whether your email client downloads only your headers, your messages or your messages and attachments. 

The choice is entirely yours.

If you have only headers set to download, when you go into a mail folder/account, it will then connect to the mail server and update that folder/account.

I kinow how it works Pete. You said or implied, and I may be wrong, that all emails and all atttachments are on the device. They arent unless you download and open all attachments. If this was POP for example, all emails and all attachments will all be there by default and with no extra individual actions, which was the impression your response gave

That's because you never downloaded the attachment.  Just play around with it, you'll figure it out sooner or later.

Thats right, you can set sync periods, but where is my attachment on the email that arrived today? Its not there. If I was offline I can read the email, I cannot read the attachment

Check your mail settings and read the User Guide.  You get to choose how much mail you retain on your iOS device.  On my iPad I have chosen to retain only the last 200 emails per folder.

I know that because I can read my mail when I'm not connected to the Internet.

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.
