POP3 is a message delivery protocol. It allows you to download all of your messages from a POP3 server to local mailbox folders. IMAP is a mail storage and exchange protocol. Messages can be stored in folders on the mail server and used from any IMAP capable client without having to transport messages around on multiple machines. It can also be used as a transfer protocol, allowing you to store messages locally as well as or instead of on the remote server.
