I am unable to use my Apple Computer this week so I've been exploring my Windows XP computer and trying to make it work like my Apple. Here are some observations about email. I have many email addresses. This hasn't been a problem because in Apple mail, no matter how many email addresses I have for myself, I can look at all my emails in one Inbox. This is a huge bonus that I've gotten used to because it keeps me from having to look into a different mailbox for each address. I can do that if I want by looking in the main inbox sub-folders. Incidentally, this is not the case with my iPhone. I assume they will fix that at some future time, but as of now I have to check each email box individually. It turns out that I cannot find a way to make the unified email box on my PC, as it is on my Apple Mail. This is primarily because I like to use IMAP accounts. For those who may not know IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol. IMAP is ideal if you like to look at your email on more than one device. With IMAP all your viewed messages, deleted messages, unread messages synchronize so when you go to another device you know what you've read, or otherwise dealt with already. In Microsoft Outlook 2003, for instance, if you do IMAP email, you get a separate email box for each email account. This is not so great if you have, say four or five different email boxes. You find your self going from one to other like some kind of bee pollinating flowers. I also tried Thunderbird and it was the same way. The only real solution is to use POP accounts in Outlook or Thunderbird and make sure you check "leave messages on server." This way you can download all your emails to one inbox. The only problem is that it doesn't sync read emails across devices, so when you look at the emails on another device, you don't know what you've read. This is my first trouble that I have encounter here in Windows XP land. Don't get me wrong, I do work with XP when I'm on the job in office locations, but I haven't used it as my main computer for a while. In Windows favor, however, I am writing this post on Windows Live Writer. This I like.
