Worth it in my mind, since Exchange hosting rather than regular email costs a few quid anyway.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Won't one of the problems with IMAP be that if one user deletes an email then it will get deleted on the server and from everyone else's devices?
Or is this not an issue with IMAP?Comment

It does mean there's an extra step in forwarding, but I've never noticed a delay.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

I send email to [email protected] and I've set up forwarding from fred@localcompany to [email protected]
Now, if Fred replies to the message (using his Gmail app), it appears to come from the Gmail account, but of course Fred wants it to appear to have come from his company's domain as he doesn't want to admit to using free Gmail as his corporate email solution!
So I also set up in Gmail "Send Mail As" [email protected] AND I configure it to use localcompany's SMTP server, then the reply from Fred does indeed indicate that it was sent from [email protected]Comment

If I send mail from my Android phone it sends as [email protected], not [email protected], so it all works. Same if I use Thunderbird on my PC, and same if I use the web interface.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment
