What is the difference between POP3 and IMAP?
When setting up your GoDaddy email, one decision you need to make is whether to use IMAP or POP for incoming emails.
If you opt for IMAP, any modifications you make to your emails (such as reading or deleting an email) will be synchronized across all devices you use to access your email. As opposed to IMAP, when using POP, changes will only be reflected on the device where you initially downloaded your email. Therefore, opting for POP or IMAP highly depends on your personal preferences.
With IMAP, your emails remain on the mail server, which is not only convenient for multi-device usage, but also an extra security measure. While you loose your email data with POP when the device containing your emails (smartphone, computer…) gets lost / does not work anymore, you can still access your emails when opting for IMAP.
A general advise is to choose IMAP over POP, as it allows you to access the same emails on multiple devices like smartphones, tablets, and PCs. However, if you have a large mailbox and need to conserve storage capacity, POP3 is freeing up storage space in your mailbox.
