[Hidden-tech] ipad email question (Neal Priestly)

[Tad Puckett]

If Verizon is not allowing her to set up her account using IMAP over POP
then yes, it would work. That being said Gmail wouldn't need IMAP set up
"out of the box" so to speak. IMAP (and POP) use different ports on your
computer to do their thing, 143 and 110. Unless you are using a local
program, say Outlook, then you are going through a web interface to access
Gmail. When you log onto your GMail on your computer you'll notice your URL
starts with HTTPS (secure HTTP) that's a completely different port than
IMAP or POP, it's 443. IMAP isn't needed in those cases as you are
accessing your email with the HTTPS port not the IMAP one.

Again, if she wanted seamless syncing between a local service, again say
Outlook, and the email server (Google) then IMAP would be the way to go for
Outlook to receive the emails, but if this is personal use between a few
devices then Gmail would be fine and would not need IMAP set up in that
manner. Merely forwarding her email to Gmail should be enough. She would
have the option to use the Gmail app on her Phone and Ipad or set up the
native Mac Mail account to sync her Gmail account.

Personally, it sounded to me like the issue wasn't the ability to
interface/sync between all her devices, although that would make it easier
for her. It was the fact that Verizon wasn't filtering out spam emails that
she was having to delete. I might have read into it wrong though.
