threeEliminate Duplicate Emails from Your Phone & Computers

The good news is you can connect to your email from just about anywhere these days... with any number of devices.

The bad news is a lot of "housekeeping" chores for your email inboxes on your phone, laptop, and desktop.

Is there a better way to manage your email so that when you delete an email from your smart phone - it also gets deleted from your desktop and laptop?

YES - you can do this by changing your email server from POP3 to IMAP

POP3,
used by Outlook, Outlook Express, and many other email programs, connects to your mail server (usually maintained by your ISP - Internet Service Provider like comcast, aol, etc) and automatically downloads your emails from the server to your laptop or desktop computer.  This means if you respond or delete a message on your laptop - it will still be on your desktop.  And your phone....

IMAP also connects to your mail server via your phone, computer, laptop, etc.  Any operation you do to your messages from any device synchronizes to your email server.  

For example, if you delete an email from your phone, it synchronizes the change so that when you go back to your computer, that message is deleted there as well.  It looks and feels exactly like your current email settings - but when you respond, delete, or forward an email using any device - the next time you use a different device - you see the synchronized changes.

So, remove the hassle of email housekeeping for multiple devices by switching to an IMAP server.

Contact your ISP for details - or contact us if you'd like us to set up all of your devices to work seamlessly, without duplication.
