This usually is not a software feature, this usually is determined on the server side on how the email is handled. such as having a POP3 server or an IMAP4 Server.Originally posted by Jaime Andrés@Feb 17 2004, 07:51 PM
One of the best features with the old version was that you could view your mail without downloading it from the server so obvious virus’s I could just delete,
a POP3 server will download all the email to your email client before you can read it. IMAP can also do this, but it can leave your email on the server in folders for later retrieval and you can easily read them again. When you create folders in you email cleint under a POP3 server, the folders are only created in the userland; on your home computer and email app, if you create folders on an IMAP server, they will be created on the email server and will appear even if you are not using the email client you created them in - as they reside on the IMAP email server.
It could be possible that you had a different email server when you used the older version.
