I have setup eMail piping for the support section, and it's working really well. I was just wondering if it's preferable for me to set up my eMail client using POP or IMAP? If I use POP, the eMails are downloaded onto my PC and deleted from the server, does this mean that they won't be 'piped' to the script? If I use IMAP, the eMails are left on the server, are they deleted by the script or will I have to delete them myself? Thanks in advance.
