   Nice.  That means that my senior friend only needs to     
   "remember" the old password and we can then apply the TB     
   config change too.  But I fear that she will be forced to     
   reset it, and update her iPad account too. That is surely     
   going to frustrate her.  :(   But hopefully, the son-in-law     
   will make sure she writes down the new password.  I could then     
   have another remote session to do the config change.

   Yes.. I can fully appreciate that syncing.  Infact, that is     
   how I use my iPods and Blackberry for getting the heads-up on      
   mail across my various accounts.  But when I am at my laptop     
   (for personal mail) or desktop (for bizness mail)...I use pop/    
   smtp and pull in the mail for storing mail locally and flush     
   the mail servers clean. If my mobile internet wasn't metered,     
   I'd probably be fine with imap method across the board.
