Can I use WebMail in conjunction with other email clients such as Thunderbird, Eudora or Pine?

A. Yes, but you have to be careful. Take note of these three points: Unpredictable behaviour can result if multiple clients (including WebMail sessions) are opened at the same time. It is recommended that you do not have more that one client accessing your email messages at any one time.If you use another mail client that leaves an ‘mbox’ in your home directory WebMail will try to move all incoming message to this box before it opens your messages. This may fail if you are near or over your disk quota, which in turn might cause other programs to fail. WebMail is an IMAP mail client. IMAP clients leave emails on the server. If you also use a POP3 mail client such as Eudora it will remove messages from the server after downloading them to your computer, unless configured specifically not to do so and WebMail will not be able to access and display any messages already downloaded.
