IMAP is Here!!!

IMAP Now Available for All DreamersI.netUsers. But What Does That Mean?

I do not wish to bore you with the technical details about how email systems in work, but it is worth mentioning what the IMAP service means for you.

Until now, all email PSPINC provided was using a system called POP. POP works like regular mail that you get from the post office. When email comes to your inbox, you go out to get it. When you take out the mail and read it, the mailbox becomes empty again. All email that you receive through a POP system is stored in mail software like Outlook, Live Mail, Thunderbird or Mac Mail.

IMAP is different. When you receive email using IMAP, you are not downloading the email to your computer, it stays in the server. You read, file, organize, reply to, and delete all your email on the server instead of on your computer. You can always download any and all email to your PC anytime you wish, but the purpose of IMAP is to manage all your email on the server.

So Why Would You Want IMAP Over POP?

There are basically two reasons you may want to use IMAP. The main reason would be multiple device support. Because emails are managed on the server rather than after they are downloaded to your computer, all devices that access mailbox on the server can see emails the way they are stored in the server. So, when you delete email from your computer, the same email is deleted from your inbox when you check it from your smart phone or tablet. This is a great feature to have if you check your email from multiple devices like PC, Laptop, Tablet, and Smart Phone.

The second reason why you might want to use IMAP is security. Because all emails are stored on the server, when you lose your computer, it will not hold any email that may contain sensitive information. All you have to do is to change the password, and your email cannot be accessed from your lost computer.

Is IMAP for Everybody?

No, it is not. Because your emails stay on the server all the time, you cannot access your email when you are cut off from the Internet. However, since people are more connected to the Internet than ever, this may not be much of a problem anymore. But for this very reason, our new mail service supports both POP and IMAP.

Another item that one must consider is storage space on the server. The minimum setting for DreamersI.net is 10GB of storage space for 10 email accounts, which should be enough for a few years of email for average business use. However, because IMAP stores all emails on the server, you many need to add more space unless you delete old emails to make space for new ones, which you can always do for a nominal fee. Just ask a PSP Inc. representative.

We are upgrading your email service to a new server, but it should be exactly the same to you. We are even moving your email from the old server as well. When the move is complete, PSP Inc. will notify you. From then on, you will be able to use new IMAP feature on DreamersI.net.

Setting Up IMAP On Your Email Software

If you would like to setup your email clients to work as IMAP, please contact PSP Inc. and our qualified support staff will be glad to help you make the transition. Thank you for choosing DreamersI.net and PSPINC.

iPad is delayed by 4 days

Mar

I just received email from Apple telling me that my iPad is delayed for for days. To make sure, they are offering the loaner iPad to be delivered on the original day. Just read the email ... they are really concerned about what people think of them.

I decided to wait until it comes. I can wait.

Our diesel generators are topped off with 40 gallons of diesel fuel each. Each generator has 120 gallon tank, so we used about 1/3 since the last refueling ... I don't even remember when it was.

Future Home of Walmart

Mar

There are two Walmart stores opening in Bellevue, Washington. One of them is at Factoria Mall where MERVINS used to be. We never had Walmart in Bellevue before and the nearest one is at Renton about 15~20 miles away. Both sites are too small to be Walmart Super Stores, but you will never know. It will be interesting.
