Not that I'm aware of. I have charter cable, I download my mail from their
server with Outlook. I also have my gmail account set up to forward to my
charter account. I do have my settings set to check for mail every couple
minutes. How would I know I use IMAP? both my charter and gmail accts. in
Account Settings are listed as POP/SMTP. Is there somewhere on my computer
I could look to see if I do use IMAP? katy

Hi, could someone explain what 'synchronizing folders' means? There is
an
icon on my taskbar that states "Microsoft Office Outlook is synchronizing
folders". Is this normal to show on the taskbar and what is
synchronizing?
I have seen this before with the beta version but I don't know what it
does,
even though I checked out the Help section, which only explains if I want
it
or not but not why it's happening or how it's beneficial. Can someone
help
me understand? TIA for any thoughts.......katy
