When setting up your email, you’ll be asked to choose between IMAP and POP3. Here’s why IMAP is the better option for most users, especially if you use multiple devices or want to keep your emails safe.
Why Choose IMAP?
Access Anywhere: Emails are stored online, so you can check them from any device—phone, tablet, or computer.
Always Synced: Changes (like deleting or reading emails) are updated across all your devices.
Safe Storage: Emails stay on the server, so even if your device breaks or is lost, your emails are safe.
Why Avoid POP3?
Device-Only Access: Emails are downloaded to one device and removed from the server.
Lost Emails: If you delete an email, it’s gone forever—customer service can’t recover it.
No Syncing: Actions on one device don’t show up on others.
The Best Choice: IMAP
IMAP keeps your emails safe, synced, and easy to access. With IMAP, you won’t lose emails, and they’re available wherever you need them. Always choose IMAP for a worry-free experience!
