When is it better to use POP3 instead of IMAP?
Deciding between POP3 and IMAP configurations for your GMX email account sometimes is a hard choice: By selecting POP3 for your account, emails are fetched from the server and saved on your device. Therefore, you gain the ability to access your messages offline, making POP ideal for situations where internet connectivity is limited or unreliable. Furthermore, POP3 allows you to save disk space on both your device and your GMX account, avoiding concerns about storage limitations.
However, if you frequently switch between multiple devices to access your email account, IMAP becomes the more advantageous option. IMAP ensures that your emails remain synchronized across all devices, granting convenient access and seamless management of your messages.
