Apple Mail help!

[airjuggernaut]

Hey everyone,

Just today, I setup Apple mail with my hotmail address using Live's new POP3 feature.

(http://mailcall.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!CC9301187A51FE33!49799.entry for those of you wondering)

Now my only two questions are.

How do I keep it so that both the ONLINE service and CLIENT receive the same emails and retain them.

And How do I get the the Client AND the Online Service to sync, so that once I check an email on my client, then that SAME email is marked as "read" on the online service?

Thanks, any help would be appreciated!

EDIT: Nevermind. I just read up on the difference between IMAP and POP3.
Sigh, I guess I'm never destined to ever use a mail client.

Why don't you switch to gmail?

Free IMAP....and no microsoft to deal with. I find the entire Live universe overcomplex and somewhat confusing....maybe that's just me though.

I use gmail in my iMac and my iPhone and it works wonder

I'm seriously considering doing that.

But then again, I have no complaints with Hotmail.

And plus, I use hotmail for IM all the time..

So i'll have to think about it...

I changed over to gmail years ago, use it for msn etc. Gmail is by far the best free email service avail atm. IMAP i believe is a MUST
Hotmail these days provides only 2002 services.

I also use my gmail email as my MSN. goto http://www.passport.net to sign up your gmail account so it can be used as your msn.

in addition, i find gmail's spam filtering to be perfect, if not abit to perfect its great.

I'm sure gmails support for iphone will also improve when 3.0 arrives.

End of the day your using a mac product, google supports it to a certain extent. hotmail on the other hand has almost zilch support.
