 | Choosing IMAP or POP3 |
POP3 (Post Office Protocol) downloads all of your new e-mail messages from the server to your computer, and stores them locally. When the download is complete, the messages are no longer on the server. If you choose to leave the messages on the server you will need to make sure that you don?t exceed your disk quota.
This service is excellent if you store a lot of mail. If you need to check mail from other systems use the web interface, and all of your messages will still download to your computer the next time you check your mail with your email client.
IMAP (Internet Mail Access Protocol) leaves your messages on the server. Each time that you view a message it retrieves that message. When using IMAP you need to make sure that you do not exceed your disk quota.
This service is excellent if you need access to all of your mail messages from multiple computers.
