Strange... IMAP isn't the opposite of Outlook. And using IMAP-based email client keeping data locally is a better choice than to use webmail and to rely on email storage services of mail provider.
- autoexec 4y agoYeah, even if outlook manages to stay online the vast majority of the time having a local backup is extremely useful. I use IMAP with Thunderbird which stores mail in MBOX format which I find very helpful for searching or pulling data from too. Having to depend on webmail would feel so limiting!
