It has exited and launched hundreds of times since it quit. There has
also been a few OS updates and iTunes update, and the switch to Lion
without fixing it.

First things I checked when it quit. One of them had been gratuitously
changed by someone or something. But changing it back had no effect.

Theoretically, when you're on the network and the iPhone or iPad is
connected to a power source, it syncs automatically. (If my memory is
correct, it happens only once a day.) I say theoretically because it
doesn't happen with either my iPhone or iPad.

Argh! Somehow I had that checked; no wonder my devices weren't syncing
automatically over WiFi.

When the iP* is on on the charger, if I launch iTunes, it does an
immediate sync. If iTunes is running, sync starts when I plug in the
charger. And if iTunes is running, sync starts when I tap the button in
iP* settings or in iTunes.

But none of this would happen until I first enabled it while on USB.

Apparently there isn't a real requirement that the phone is on a
charger. The real requirement is that it has enough power to do the
sync. So Apple tells us to have it on the charger.

At least that's what an Apple store "Genius" told me.

I have no idea what the rationale is, but putting on on the charger is
not a _requirement_ for sync, it is a _trigger_ for sync.

A power "requirement" would be silly, since the device can run hours on
battery and a sync takes five minutes or less.

The question is not whether I want to use POP3, it's whether my mail
supplier wants to. At least Blue Domino uses secure POP, Road Runner
doesn't, and won't. "We see no value since most of our users utilize
Web Mail" Of course, he didn't use Web Mail (their caps, not mine).

BD offers Exchange, but at a pretty stout price. But they've
indicated an interest in going to "a more robust" transfer
methodology.

I have one email address that I use for my iOS device(s). I POP the
others to my laptop But yes, I can have it set up to hold the
message. But I can also say, at least from Eudora, to either delete
at the server or leave it there. I haven't fiddled with anything on
my iPhone since it's a totally stand alone device as far as mail is
concerned.
