Don't overreact. Just because you got a lemon, that doesn't mean all
cars are bad (politics and global warming aside).

I regret my delayed replies, due to inet access problems that I hope to correct soon.

Apparently Inbox.com just started using the SPAM folder, or just installed it, or just updated software - so it is active by default - where I never suffered it before. So email of the last few months was disappearing without my knowledge. I found over 200 lost emails in the Inbox.com Spam folder, accessible only by webpage. I use Inbox.com for several years now. This never happened before. No notice was given of an update in software. An Irresponsible Email Service to me! Enough!

And I don't like not being able to see folders due to the antiquated design of POP. True IMAP does not suffer the problem.

I just discovered Yahoo hiding a Spam folder from Alpine & Seamonkey as well, so the Yahoo server imap.main.yahoo.com is obviously Not a True IMAP by RFC, & while I seldom use it, it gets ditched too.

I've been using various POP accounts for 20 years with mostly good
results. Occasionally an ISP's spam blocker goes overboard and has to
be reined in, but all POP is not bad.

If it works for you - go for it. But I experienced just the opposite with POP servers in the last 20 years online. And this Inbox.com POP has caused other trouble, plus the server is erratic with random disconnects. Who needs it?

IMAP can do all POP can do, plus a lot more. So why bother with POP? Especially a bad one.
