 == Reading your mail on the server using IMAP ==
 IMAP allows you to read the messages that are sitting in your mailbox on the server. The protocol does not attempt to transfer the messages, but leaves them sitting on the server. This means that you can read your recent messages wherever you have access to the Internet.

 You can make IMAP work in conjunction with POP3, because POP3 allows you to configure a period, usually 7 days, where mail on the server is kept on the server even after its been transferred down to your main computer. After 7 days, POP3 will automatically delete the old messages from the server, thus freeing up space for new messages to arrive.
-If you don't configure POP3 to delete older messages, then your mailbox will eventually fill up, and you will lose all new messages until the older messages are deleted.

 When you choose POP3, your email messages are transferred from the server to your computer. If you use multiple devices, then you need to choose one of them to act as the '''Master''' computer where you store all your email for your business.
-It's very bad to try to configure multiple computers to use POP3 to read the same email account as each computer will retrieve different messages and the messages for your email account will be spread randomly over all the computers, which isn't very useful when you want to find a particular message.
+When you configure multiple computers or devices to use POP3 to read the same email account, you'll need to ensure that they are set to remove mail from the server after 7 days... so each computer doesn't retrieve different messages.

 == Where are my email messages stored? ==
-When someone sends you a email message, they send the message to a mail server which then finds the mail server that is used to host your email account. The message is delivered from the sending mail server to your mail server, where it sits waiting for you to read it.

 Each email account uses up disk space on your mail server to store your messages. This space is allocated from the disk space quota that comes with your Spiffy Stores plan, and there is a limit to the number and size of messages that can be stored on the mail server. We provide enough space for you to store your messages for a few weeks, but we recommend that you set up your email accounts to transfer your older email messages somewhere else so that you can keep an archive of all the messages you have received in the past months and years for your business.
