POP3 E-mail (Post Office Protocol)
POP3 is a type of email
that transfers messages directly onto your computer at home or work. After
you download your email, messages are erased from Lansford.US mail server and
saved on your local computer. Many email clients, such as Outlook Express,
can be used with POP3.
POP3 email typically downloads
messages faster than IMAP email, because the mail server doesn't have to check
as many messages.
IMAP4 E-mail (Internet Message
Access Protocol)
It is a method of accessing electronic
mail or bulletin board messages that are kept on a mail server. In other words,
it permits a "client" email program to access remote message stores as
if they were local. For example, email stored on an IMAP server can be
manipulated from a desktop computer at home, a workstation at the office, and a
notebook computer while traveling, without the need to transfer messages or
files back and forth between these computers.
IMAP's ability to access messages (both
new and saved) from more than one computer has become extremely important as
reliance on electronic messaging and use of multiple computers increase, but
this functionality cannot be taken for granted: the widely used Post Office
Protocol (POP) works best when one has only a single computer, since it was
designed to support "offline" message access, wherein messages are
downloaded and then deleted from the mail server. This mode of access is not
compatible with access from multiple computers since it tends to sprinkle
messages across all of the computers used for mail access. Thus, unless all of
those machines share a common file system, the offline mode of access that POP
was designed to support effectively ties the user to one computer for message
storage and manipulation.
