Actually, I&#8217;m not using it as of yet. If you&#8217;re not familiar with the background of e-mail: your ISP generally provides basic POP3 services. POP3 is just a protocol to store and retrieve (download) your messages to your desktop computer. The moment you download your messages, references to these messages are deleted (not completely true: your local law enforcement authoritities may require ISPs to retain your e-mails for a while). This means that if you&#8217;re using multiple computers there&#8217;s no way to share your mail over these computers. IMAP, however, centralizes your e-mail storage and allows e-mail programs to synchronize e-mails over several clients.\n<\/p>\n<p>Alfons forwarded me a link: One of his photos was selected to accompany <a href=\"http:\/\/bicycling.about.com\/od\/howtoride\/a\/cool_weather.htm\">an article about Fall and bicycling<\/a> at About.com (which is part of the New York Times, since, when?)\n<\/p>\n<p>And on a good note: it looks like we&#8217;re going to bunker down <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/canada\/nova-scotia\/story\/2007\/11\/02\/noel-ns.html\">for the first major tropical storm (Noel!) of the year<\/a>.
