What is the difference between POP3 and IMAP Mail Server? POP3:
- All emails are to be downloaded again if used by another desktop PC for checking the email.
- May lead to confusion if used for checking email in office and at home PC.
- Attachments will be down loaded into desktop while the ‘check new email’ process is in progress.
- Mailboxes can be created only on desktop and one mail box exists on the server.
IMAP:
- There is no need for downloading all email while using another desktop PC for checking email.
- Unread mail identification is easier.
- Message downloading is possible only when opened for display from its contents.
- Multiple mailboxes creation is possible on the desktop PC and also on the server.
