People are making this too complicated. Just paste the link into an email on the phone and send it to the same email address or another you use. Then just open the email on your PC. Here is a link I posted in an email on my phone.

Just like I stated in my first post.
Just email it to yourself from the same email address on the phone.

lol there's people replying in this thread about avoiding emailing it...

[Fun Fact: It is practically a requirement to be able to access your emails through your phone is modern days. If you don't access your emails through your phone, then... you're really missing out on how this simplifies your life... GREATLY!!]
(You don't even have to download a 3rd party app to use your email address; every smartphone comes with a built-in app that can access your emails. All you need to do is set it up).

...to the people who don't want to take this advice: it's your choice. If you choose on not wanting to access your emails through your phone, that's totally up to you!! I like living life the easy way. I keep it simple. Others like it difficult. =)

I'm the opposite. I have no use for email on the phone. Email is for the desktop at home.

I see. I guess it depends on the importance of emails that you receive.
One example for me: Assuming I have an ongoing checkup about stuff with one of my doctors, then, when I'm outside, and that doctor sends me an important message on the Kaiser Permanente website, I receive an email from Kaiser stating that I have a new message in my Kaiser Permanente account. So I see that email on my phone, immediately while I'm outdoors, and I log into my Kaiser app to check the message my doctor has sent me. It's very convenient.

Also, while outdoors, and someone responds to a thread that I'm subscribed to on TenForums, then I get an email with that notification saying someone responded to a thread that I'm subscribed to. So I go on TenForums to reply in the thread.
Example: This thread. I'm outdoors. I got the email saying someone responded. So I'm on here replying.

I find that receiving emails on my phone are very convenient.

All of my emails are important (aside from spam).
That's why I get them on my desktop.

I see. lol we keep getting deeper and deeper in this.
Me, on the other hand, get some important emails which are time sensitive that I must reply to in a timely manner, instead of hours later when I'm near my Desktop Computer. These are the emails that I define as important. It depends on the person.
So yes, your emails are important that you can take care of at later times throughout the day. Yet some of mine are important to the point to where I need to respond immediately to.

But like I said in my earlier posts. It depends on what you receive.
I guess a similarity that I could use in this example is:
Receiving emails on my phone is just as convenient as upgrading from Windows 95 to Windows 10.

(I wonder what Microsoft will name the Windows version that will come after Windows 94. You know how the latest version of Windows is Windows 11? Well, The next version will be 12, then 13, then 14, etc. Then once we're on Windows 94, then I wonder what the next version will be called.)

...Never mind. Earth will be long gone by then. hah.

Why OR? Why not AND? With IMAP, you can read your email anywhere in or out of your house. Once deleted on one device, it's deleted on all devices. Way better than POP3 email.
