I don't see any reason to use a 3rd party email client when the integrated email in iOS works fine with everything, I use it for my main TPG pop3 account, a gmail and a hotmail account. Keep it simple.

No explanation why IMAP appears as an option... AOL, Yahoo and Hotmail all work flawlessly within SPARK.  I guess TPG is not a serious candidate as an email provider that can integrate like the “big players”..... Oh well, I’ll try to find another that can.

My question is why use spark at all? It's only an issue with spark, TPG's email works flawlessly on my Windows PC and my iPhone and iPad, what can spark do that other email clients can't?

Spark is my “Leisure/Game” email collector.  I don’t want the emails from these pursuits in my main email account, there is enough crap that gets through there already....

You can totally manage seperate accounts within iOS
