[Hidden-tech] ipad email question

[Neal Priestly]

Hi Lynne-

One thing you might want to do if you're accessing the same email account
across multiple machines is to change to using the IMAP protocal to access
your email.

If Verizon provides enough space to support this - I haven't used them
myself in many years so I don't know that they do - it would solve the
problem of having to delete the same email on each device.  Delete it once,
compress on exit, and it's gone at next synchronization on the other
devices as well.
