Good afternoon Werner
Thanks for your prompt reply…
Of course you could also set up your own web server and then be autonomous…
Whether it makes sense to set up a mail client on, for example (like me) 8 - 10 devices remains questionable, especially since not all clients are my own. Then there is the cost factor, not all mail clients are free.
The connection via local clients or apps makes sense as long as the number of devices is manageable, access to them is guaranteed at all times and the environment is not hybrid (MS, Apple, Linux, Android).
P.S. I’ve had my experiences with IMAP with our customers over the last few years… unfortunately they weren’t always positive.
Ultimately, it wasn’t a question of webmail yes or no, but rather whether it was possible to shorten the retrieval interval in the new webmail environment.
Nevertheless, thank you for your honest opinion…
