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

 

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


What you are dealing with is an IMAP account.

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.
