[QUOTE="NanoBite, post: 374510, member: 13565"] IMAP is the better choice when you would like to check your mail from multiple computers, at work and home, for example. POP3 works by reviewing the inbox on the mail server, and downloading the new messages to your computer. IMAP downloads the headers of the new messages on the server, then retrieves the message you want to read when you click on it. When using POP3, your mail is stored on your Mac. When using IMAP, the mail is stored on the mail server. Unless you copy a message to a "Local Folder" the messages are never copied to your Mac. [/QUOTE]
