My posts may also be complete balls. I go only upon what I've seen over the countless years I've had rechargeable batteries - NiCad, NiMh, Li-Ion, and even Lead Acid. I really ought to do some tests and figure out which ones have popped their clogs (as I'm sure some have) and bin them.

That's fair enough

Mine tend to be done on scientific evidence from third parties, so it depends on the accuracy of my sources.

That generally doesn't happen in modern laptops that remain plugged in. Their decreased battery life comes from the small temperature increase that greatly affects long term battery life.

Anyway... How good is blowfish ?

That's an interesting question.

Are you using IMAP in Thunderbird too? The scenario I envisaged (as and when I get an iPhone) is to continue using POP3 at home to actually download and delete mails from my provider's servers but to use IMAP on the iPhone. That way I can access mail whilst out but it will still be downloaded as normal when I get home.

Do you reckon using IMAP everywhere would be a better idea? What advantages would that give me at home do you reckon?

^^ that's basically what I do.

That'll work fine.

Is it advantageous will depend on your usage. If you use IMAP everywhere and went through the process of uploading old emails to the IMAP server then you could access your email history on your iPhone which might be useful.

If you had rules setup in your email client and left that client running all the time then only stuff that would go into the inbox (rather than a folder) in the client would appear in the inbox on the iPhone. You could however still access those emails on the iPhone.

If you didn't leave your email client open all the time you would get all new emails to the inbox on the iPhone and could either file them away in folders when you're at your PC or do it in the Mail application on the iPhone. I was pleasantly surprised how well the iPhone copes with moving emails between folders.

Personally I like IMAP because it you have all your emails stored elsewhere on the mail server. That way if your PC goes tits up you don't lose any email.

Thunderbird doesn't do an overly great job of IMAP synchronising (well, the beta of 3.0 that I'm using doesn't) but that's only an issue if you have it set to download a copy of your emails. If you work online (so your emails are only on the server and not stored on your PC) then it's a non issue.

I like having access to all my old mail so IMAP is ideal for me

I was getting odds and sods on the iPhone which was annoying me because it was keeping the old stuff but with gaps where I'd d/led on the PC, but those I'd missed didn't sync back to the phone. With WinMo you can specify to load these back to the phone but iPhone won't do that

Use IMAP at work, home and iPhone. All my folders sync fine including trash, drafts, inbox and sent. Doesn't matter where I am or what machine I'm using, my mail is the same

Also, I just got £130 for my old Diamond

Matblack · 13-07-2009, 21:40

That' s good, I could get £45 for the Touch Dual but its my only TomTom at the moment so I may have to wait a few weeks
