[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6198672, member: 8835"] I don't disagree that this kind of change can be frustrating. And to be honest, I wasn't being gentle about getting you to convert. What I see is a collision. You are trying to solve a problem (wanting email on iPhone for one reason, on PC for another), and trying to apply the technology as you understand it to that end. Unfortunately, you ran into the kind of solution that professionals cringe at. There are bad practices in electrical wiring, software development, etc that an amateur can run into headlong and not know it. If I was a better internet "friend" (and not tired from having worked 8am-past midnight for 5 days straight), I'd like to better understand what behavior you're trying to get and why. Not the how, that's what nerds do. What kind of email do you want on the iPhone vs. the PC. What's shared, what's separate. Why do they need to be that way? Then see if we can arrange things to happen that way, with the best practices applied (IMAP). We might not be able to get everything, but you're probably feel better about the process. Feel free to explain more of the what/why part of your desires, and maybe one of us can be a better internet "friend". [/QUOTE]
