Hi Jennifer, I know a few people still think POP has a place in today's modern era where people often have their email accounts set up on multiple devices including maybe a PC/Laptop/Mac, an iPhone and/or iPad and so on. I personally switched to Hotmail/Outlook.com 6 years ago when I first started using smartphones and an iPod Touch because POP to me is a protocol for when people had one computer and that was it. Yes, I know you can set up a POP account to leave mail on the server and basically designate one device/computer as the master account where if you delete email it also is deleted from the server and so on, but the issue is that you are still working with a locally stored copy of all your email and it just does not sync between devices. Also, if I send an important message or reply to a message from my iPhone, then I want that message to show it's been replied to and I want the reply I sent in my Sent folder no matter whether I am doing mail on one of my 3 computers (2 at work and my laptop at home) or my iPhone. POP will not do this, if I reply from one computer than the sent message is on that computer and it won't be on the other devices. Then there is the issue of contacts. POP is for email and contacts are out of the picture completely. In my opinion POP just does not do the job any more no matter how you set it up or try to work around its limitations. I know you can still configure your gmail account to use POP, not sure if you can even set up an Outlook.com account as a POP account and, of course, why would you. Exchange active sync beautifully syncs your email and contacts and, if you want, calendars and reminders, and while it has a few limitations for the most part it's a pretty nice experience. All you do is set up your account whether it's on the PC or your iOS device(s) and all your email and your contacts are there. I'm sure gmail when set up with IMAP works well and maybe if I had spend as much time with it as I have with Outlook.com I'd like it better, but I just prefer the ability to make folders and move messages into those over gmail's way of applying labels to organize my email. I also don't like the approach of the All Mail label or whatever it is called where messages still are kept even if you delete them from your Inbox and, I think, also your Trash folder.
