Lets go Verizon, its time to use IMAP. We have multiple computers, devices and smart phones, PLEASE implement IMAP.
Yes. IMAP has been around for almost 20 years, it's time to implement it!
I don't see why they would implement IMAP. Does any major Internet or email provider use IMAP? I would love to have IMAP but they would have to beef up the storage space to accommodate all the mail folks would leave mail on the server.

Uh, yeah, ever hear of att.net or gmail.com?

#1 Please, point to a page of att.net showing how to setup IMAP on an E-mail Client.
#2 Please, point to a page of gmail.com showing how to setup IMAP on an E-mail Client.
Got gmail, login to your gmail account, select Settings in the upper right corner, and then POP/IMAP.
Instructions for configuring a client can be found:

You can also configure your gmail to use POP to pull your Verizon mail into your Gmail account and thn use IMAP to access it from there.
but why should we have to do that - Come On Verizon - implement IMAP

Not sure i would call att.net a major provider. I left them a few weeks ago, they are circling the drain as far as I'm concerned.
Gary,
As you probably know, AT&T is indeed a major provider in those areas formerly served by SBC, Ameritech, Southern New England Tel, and, of course, BellSouth. Most of their area can get at least DSL, and some can even latch on to U-Verse.
Before I had FiOS, I was a VZ DSL subscriber. And before I got my first iMac, I used AT&T's (dialup) WorldNet Service.
"Self-employed EE", huh? I'm a formerly employed EE myself, as my job was eliminated one month ago today. However, I'm old enough to collect a pension, so, the economy being what it is, that's probably what I'll end up doing.
Because storage halves in cost every 18 months and is cheaper and runs in the opposite direction of inflation!
So, I guess the only two options for people with verizon.net email and who have iPhones and/or iPads are to switch from verizon.net or be totally unable to synch their email. I've been happy with verizon.net, but love my i-devices and not willing to give them up. But multiple places to update status of emails is definitely not viable. I'm soooo disappointed; just got an iPad and only then realized what a hassle this would be. (and yes, I did see the post about voting and placed my vote).

It's not just Apple devices. It's any smartphone or tablet, even if you just have more than one pc. You cannot sync email completely across multiple devices on any platform unless Verizon implements IMAP.
When is Verizon going to allow Imap with their email client. At this point when I receive email on my phone I can delete what I want but then I have to go online or via outlook to actually delete the email. I know in Outlook I can set it so that when I delete it also deletes on the server but that is now what I want I want to be able to update via Imap as I do with my exchange email and google email
I agree, it is time for VZ to offer IMAP. I have to manage email on both iPhone and Outlook. Waste of time...
How 'bout it Verizon??
Are you going to offer imap or not? Just tell us, yes or no, and give us a date. You are now selling iPhones, iPad services and other syncing type products. Yet your email technology is antiquated. Why?
I like the idea of having an iPad, iPhone and internet service from one provider. But you are making the choice to commit very difficult.
Your customers are talking...are you listening?

Current status from that Link above.
Status: Not LikelyWe have strategically chosen POP3 Email architecture to minimize storage costs. Please know that each master email account has 2GB of storage and if the user does not POP their email, the email is accessible from anywhere with internet access via myverizon.com.
So, as far as I can tell.
The answer is no.
This suggestion has already been posted but maybe post this again under "share your ideas with verizon" here on the forums board. It is found under Verizon Idea Exchange. Maybe ask a status update on this idea.
