Greetings
Working on setting up Claws - - an email handling tool and I need to
choose whether I use
POP3 or IMAP.
What I've been able to find so far doesn't really give any kind of
clear direction.
I have lots of storage here and am planning on starting with my least
used addresses just to make sure things are working well before I do a
complete switch.
As a general rule only use IMAP.
If you intend to leave your mail on the mail server then IMAP is just
about manditory.
IMAP also has a number of features not provided by POP.
1) server based mail search
2) multi client synchronization
3) multiple hierarchical folders
4) random access to messages without having to re-read the inbox.
5) IMAP servers usually support like Sieve for mail filtering.
6) write messages to a "sent" folder
About 5 years ago I stopped supporting POP at all and my email clients
must use IMAPS.
