Re: Verizon Email on two computers
Rattler and Birdfeedr,
I agree that you have described legitimate options. I was just pointing out that the option you have both described has downside in that the user has to actively maintain email clients on each machine. There is PIA factor here. Of course, the NAS/server option I've described is more costly because it involves another piece of hardware (and associated costs). I have a home server that hosts various services (like Skype and media files) so the option I've described was a no brainer for me.
Frankly, I think the best option for email is to not use the email services provided by your ISP. People should use a third party email service (I use NetIdentity.com) using IMAP so that (1) they can access the email service from any client that does IMAP and have state saving and (2) they can switch ISPs based on the quality and cost of the internet service (as opposed to email service) and not be hassled with changing email addresses when changing ISPs. |
