POP is the old way to using mail. Connects and talk to the INBOX *only*. Mail is then fetching to the local disc. With IMAP all the mail is stored on the mailserver. You dont have any mail on the local disc. This provides an advantage since you can access your mail from all over the world. You can have multiple folder etc with IMAP. Filters also work with IMAP. IMAP is a bit slower since network trafic is slower than local disc access. I'm using IMAP and Mozilla and it just rocks. -- Henrik Gemal Mozilla Evangelist Get Java working in Mozilla: http://gemal.dk/mozilla/java.html Description of profile files: http://gemal.dk/mozilla/files.html
