IMAP vs POP affecting database size

S

Steven Day

Will storing messages on an IMAP server help to keep the size of the
database down much? Or is any difference negligible? I have some rather
large POP boxes and am thinking of moving them over to an IMAP server (with
future messages to be sent to the IMAP account as well).

TIA.

PS How does one set up an email address for news postings in Entourage that
cannot be harvested?

Only if you choose to either download headers only, or choose not to
download messages at all in certain folders.

Create a fake POP account called News that only contains an SMTP server and
a fake e-mail address.
