IMAP keeps a copy of all your mail and folders on the server so you can access all of it from multiple machines and webmail. POP doesn't. In most cases POP moves the mail to your computer each time you get your mail. IMAP costs more therefore.

But hosts like GoDaddy give you IMAP cheaper than Earthlink or ATT give you POP.

MAPI... Eudora gives me this choice...

Will love to know.

Many thanks

I do have email on my phone (no more smartphone) but when I do a local download at home, poof there goes those email messages, plus the attachments and such are not available. (I get important documents that way, plus info)
Stop using POP!
