When should I use POP3 instead of IMAP?
Pros:
If you configure your AOL email account with POP3, your emails will be fetched from the server and downloaded on your device. This allows you to access your emails even when you're not connected to the internet. Additionally, you can conserve disk space and avoid running out of storage capacity in your email account.
Cons:
If you utilize multiple devices to access your AOL email account, with POP3, you will only be able to view your emails on the device where you initially downloaded them.
➡️ If you prefer to read your emails across multiple devices, IMAP is the preferable choice.
