POP3
|
IMAP
|
Since
email needs to be downloaded into desktop PC before being displayed, you may
have the following problems for POP3 access:
The
downloaded email may be deleted from the server depending on the setting of
your email client.
|
Since
email is kept on server, it would gain the following benefits for IMAP
access:
|
All
messages as well as their attachments will be downloaded into desktop PC
during the 'check new email' process.
|
A
whole message will be downloaded only when it is opened for display from its
content.
|
Mailboxes
can only be created on desktop PC. There is only one mailbox (INBOX) exists
on the server.
|
Multiple
mailboxes can be created on the desktop PC as well as on the server.
|
Filters
can transfer incoming/outgoing messages only to local mailboxes.
|
Filters
can transfer incoming/outgoing messages to other mailboxes no matter where
the mailboxes locate (on the server or the PC).
|
Outgoing
email is stored only locally on the desktop PC.
|
Outgoing
email can be filtered to a mailbox on server for accessibility from other
machine.
|
Messages
are deleted on the desktop PC. Comparatively, it is inconvenient to clean up
your mailbox on the server.
|
Messages
can be deleted directly on the server to make it more convenient to clean up
your mailbox on the server.
|
Messages
may be reloaded onto desktop PC several times due to the corruption of system
files.
|
The
occurrence of reloading messages from the server to PC is much less when
compared to POP3.
