- How to check if I need POP3 or IMAP?
If you want to save space on your Desktop, need to confirm the backing up of your emails, IMAP will be a suitable selection for you. It ensures that your emails will be stored on the server of your email provider. On the other hand, POP3 will download your emails to be stored locally and once stored, the mails will be deleted from the server. It will free up the space on your server. However, if something goes wrong with the local storage, your emails won’t be available online. POP3 is a suitable option if you want to have a local copy of your files.
