Ohla ...

Everyone was well aware that today, at least to work on Mac (and yet) configure an email account, it is not practical. That's why the plupars web users fall back on-line services like gmail or hotmail, yahoo or to manage their mail.

But gmail, it offers a web interface very clean (no ads) and functional also lets you configure an account on your favorite mail client like Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail and so on.

Its software recover emails from Gmail server and stored on your computer. It gives them something that Pop and Imap foobar will make a difference.

POP is the pioneer of the system to recover e-mails, that date well before the popularity of email accounts online. Its function is to retrieve your emails, store them online and wait for your computer come and read. For it is against no interaction with the server.

For example, if I get an email from Jean-Louis on my Gmail account. I turn on my computer, I am receiving the mail. I read it, it stores it on my computer but the Gmail server it will not know that I read the email Jean-Louis. Only the home computer will have this info, and does thus this message as' unread 'the next time they fall over on the server.

In fact the computer can receive information from the server (big-Oh, you have a new email) but can not send response (-C 'is good, man, you can turn I have received)

Whereas with IMAP, the communication is possible!

This means that when getting my imap mail not only the computer sees it as already read, but also get the server info. So if later in the day, I connect directly to my Gmail account via Internet Explorer (the oh no) and not my program, the message will be marked as' Mo '.

As for messages sent or drafts will also be stored on the server and retrieved from any customers in the world!

This is the most convenient way to manage a mailbox which is accessed with multiple computers and / or mobile phones.

If Bernard since his computer sends a mail to Gerard for his birthday "Go over a length in the butt! Task to keep up my chicken and salvation. " Gerard will receive on his mobile phone and answered "No problem buddy, I do not want to disappoint your wife!

Once back home, Gérard'll see the message on his computer but 'already read', and his reply also directly landed in the 'mail sent' on his computer.

And push?

Push it especially for mobile phones. The problem with these small animals is that there are not plugged into AC permencr. So, you reload or every 18 minutes, or you pay them to check your new messages every 30 minutes (ben oui, ça use much battery check mails). Only on a PC 220V can afford to do all the minutes!

But be warned of a new message every half hour is not always practical for pointed shoes and beautiful tie the defense when they eat their lunch hook sir. So we invented the PUSH.

It's a server that does not wait for the phone will collect his mail, but it signaled directly. Say it as a text message that looks like (oh you have a mail, take it). So without losing energy to check for new message on the server, the phone looks simply that the latter shall notify it. Push email.

Similarly you have heard of push calendar, push contacts etc ... It's the same principle but with a timetable.

Many people share the same online calendar, an appointment is moved over, the phone knows immediately.

Modern morality a hen will soon move to Imap and have everything tidy mail wherever it connects!

Work practice: configure your mail client!
