Will try.
I am in a very bad mood today ;-) and when things start playing up....
First it was a Windows program for I which I downloaded the newest
build. There was a glitch and then I couldn't connect to server where I
am working on. Downgrade the version. Then Mail. And the reason for my
bad mood is this hot weather, which I hate. Should move to the Shetlands
in the summer ;-))

Ana, perhaps just go and get a coffee or lunch and let the
computer/server synchronise? Once its done the initial sync,
individual episodes of syncing don;t take long and happen in the
background anyway. I use Gmail, mostly on the web, but use Mail too
so I have an offline copy of stuff should I need it (lots of
meetings). Given I work at different machines, having the account set
up as IMAP is very helpful. It does mean that if I've not used the
macbook for a few days, the sync takes a while, but its usually only a
couple of minutes at most. The first time I set it up and it was
syncing about 15GB of data took a while though. But its a background
task, so it is possible to get on with stuff while its doing it.
Sam's summary of the differences is to the point. Having made the
switch myself some years ago, I struggle to see why someone would want
to choose POP over IMAP but as Sam says, redoing the account with the
wrong password on purpose will pull up other options including using
POP and still allow you to input the correct password before you commit.

Hi Ana
If you incorrectly type your password on purpose while setting up
the account, mail wont default to imap, it'll ask for more
details, then you can choose pop.
