Your Email in More Than One Place
If you use Yandex.Mail on the web and in your browser exclusively, all messages are stored on the server—exclusively (except for any backup copies Yandex keeps, of course). How about having copies of your own on your own computer or backup tape? How about combining these copies with the email program you prefer? How about getting the speed it brings as well as its convenience for your Yandex.Mail messages? How about using, say, Gmail, Outlook.com, and Yandex.Mail side-by-side without combining the accounts and forwarding?
IMAP Access to Yandex.Mail Email
With IMAP access to Yandex.Mail, you not only get copies of your Yandex.Mail emails as they arrive; you also get access and can use all folders you have set up online for organizing mail (while Yandex.Mail labels, alas, are not available). Whether you delete, file or flag an email or mark it unread, your actions will synchronize automatically with Yandex.Mail on the web and in any other email programs that also access the account using IMAP. To set up Yandex.Mail IMAP, all you need to do is make sure IMAP access is enabled for your account and use the correct settings for adding it to your (IMAP) email program.
