Most internet services provide email that can be accessed from any computer, anywhere, called webmail. I think it's also safe to say that you have to go into your email services settings and change it to IMAP. It would not be IMAP by default. It is also my understanding that IMAP sort of synchronizes (sync)the webmail with your email client on your computer while POP simply downloads the email.

I'm sure if I am wrong about any of the above, others will correct me. I'm still old fashioned and don't use this stuff much, but I try to understand what it does.

But in my Eudora at home I have a internet server (Terra) and Eudora gets the mail and tehy don´t remain on the server. POP?
