+Before you get it, though, you should decide where you want to
+ keep it. Your options will vary a little depending on your
+ network setup, but they come down to storing the mail on your
+ hard disk (using <glossterm linkend="pop">POP</glossterm>), or
+ storing it on the network (using <glossterm
+ linkend="imap">IMAP</glossterm>). If you store your mail on
+ your local hard disk, you can read it whether you're online or
+ not, but you can only read it from one computer. If you store
+ it on the network, you can only read it when you're online,
+ but you can access it from almost any computer with a network
+ connection, even if it doesn't have

+ If you choose POP, you'll be putting mail in the
+ <guilabel>Inbox</guilabel> in the <guilabel>Local</guilabel>

+ <guilabel>Inbox</guilabel> of a folder with the same name as
+ your mail server. That's so you can maintain several distinct
+ IMAP servers if you want. See <xref
+ linkend="config-prefs-mail"> for more information about mail
