Hi Jimi,

(Quick sidenote, this should be posted to the cobalt-users list rather than cobalt-developers)

With your RaQ you can choose EITHER email forwarding OR pop3 collection.
The reason is because when email comes into your RaQ it is either held locally in a pop3/imap mailbox, or if you have email forwarding active, it will push it straight out to the email address you've placed into the forwarding destination box, which is where you'd then need to collect it.

An example of email forwarding:
my raq receives  andy@xxxxxxxxxxxx
and I have email forwarding set to andy@xxxxxxxxxxx

I would collect all mail received (for andy@xxxxxxxxxxxx and my regular andy@xxxxxxxxxxx) at my hotmail.com account.

If with the above example, I removed forwarding, then i'd need to collect mail at my RaQ (for the andy@xxxxxxxxxxxx account) and also at hotmail (for my andy@xxxxxxxxxxx account)


Hope that clears it all up.

Regards,

Andy
