Re: Is the email Verizon gives with their FiOS service IMAP?

Yeah I'm not sure what "quirks" there are and have used imap on gmail for 10+ years...

Verizon is only POP and remain so for a long time. The simple solution is to create yourself a google or other ISP independent account that supports IMAP and just forward your verizon email to it.

I'm not sure Verizon's email supports forwarding either; but, if not, then Gmail also works quite well as a POP client.

Search "gmail imap non standard" for much more.

I've had problems using it with Alpine (which is basically the reference implementation of IMAP). I had to change settings to suppress some of the error messages.

Yeah it seems there are still some issue with older clients - predominately MS Office 2003 and older.... I've never had any issues with office 2007 and Thunderbird ever ....seems most of the issue revolve around labeling these days....

How do you REPLY with the correct Sender Info to an email that's been forwarded? Vz doesn't allow "identities".
