The “Two-Mailbox Problem”
It’s awesome that the iPhone can check the mail from a POP mail account,
which is the sort provided by most Internet providers. This means, however,
that now you’ve got two machines checking the same account—your main
computer and your iPhone.
Now you’ve got the “two-mailbox problem.” What if your computer downloads
some of the mail, and your iPhone downloads the rest? Will your mail
stash be split awkwardly between two machines? How will you remember
where to find a particular message?
Fortunately, the problem is halfway solved by a factory setting deep within
the iPhone that says, in effect: “The iPhone may download mail, but will leave
a copy behind for your desktop computer to download later.”
If you must know, this setting is at SettingsÆMail, Contacts, CalendarsÆyour
account nameÆAccount InfoÆAdvanced.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t stop the opposite problem. It doesn’t prevent the
computer from downloading messages before your iPhone can get to them.
When you’re out and about, therefore, you may miss important messages.
Most people would rather not turn off the computer every time they leave
the desk. Fortunately, there’s a more automatic solution: Turn on the “Leave
messages on server” option in your Mac or PC email program. Its location
depends on which email program you use. For example:
Entourage.
• Choose ToolsÆAccounts. Double-click the account name;
click Options. Turn on “Leave a copy of each message on the server.”
