IMAP | POP3 |
Email kept on our server, same view of email and folders for all your email programs | Email downloaded to your email client and not kept on our server. Webmail and other email programs won't see the same view |
Message (and attachments) only downloaded when you display the email | Message (and attachments) are downloaded whenever you check for new email |
You can create extra folders that are also created on the server, and therefore seen across all your email programs | Only a single inbox on the server, folders you create are only local to that specific email program. |
Sent email can also be stored on the server, and therefore seen across all email programs | Sent email only stored on the local computer |
1 Gigabyte of storage included as standard, further storage will have a small charge per Gigabyte (an advisory email will be sent when 1 Gigabyte is reached.) | Email only stored on the local machine (unless the email program have a 'leave on server' option) |
