@heikkiket In years of use I haven't had the problem with stuff making it to incorrect devices, but I always tell my pop clients to leave a copy on the server. I don't attempt to synchronize any "read" content, either. Did I dodge a bullet?
@worldsendless
Indeed you did!
But I'm interested to hear how do you remember what mails have you read already?
@worldsendless
Reading POP3 mail from phone and computer was a pita. Some mails ended up only on my phone, others were only on my mail client. Third ones ended into webmail. Free IMAP was a main selling point for Gmail.
