MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Okay, so I have my email hosted on a server that I rent space on and at the moment I'm accessing it by POP. But my phone accesses the same email by IMAP. What's the difference, which is better and can I make them the same?
Is it fair to hope that by making them both the same that I can then properly synchronise my phone and laptop email?
Thank you.
AFAIK POP just retrieves your mail - IMAP synchronises it.
so with imap your sent mail will appear in the sent folder of all your devices, send a pic from your pc at home, find it on your laptop or iphone when you're out n about. also a read mail will show up as read on everything. pretty smart compared to pop. takes up a bunch of space somewhere tho... in a cloud
