Probably time for an update. Vendors are now provisioning POP3 access with settings to keep email on server and you can now reply. The only issue that still bugs me is that after viewing an email with POP, the email in my MS Exchange inbox is marked "read".

if you use a smartphone, imap is essential. my iphone fetches new emails every 15 minutes, so all my pop messages would be accessible exclusively on the phone. with imap, i can see all my messages everywhere. my favorite feature of imap is that it also syncs whether or not a message has been read. so once i read a message on one machine or device, its marked as read on all the others

I use Gmail becoz it has free POP3 and IMAP, but IMAP is better than POP3 i no this coz me dad help make IMAP.

so does that mean with IMAP if you fill up your email account on webmail and you cant receive an email until you clear space, it will also be full on outlook/thunderbird and you will have to clear space to receive more emails on the email client too?

POP works by downloading the email to your client, but whatever you do on the client doesn't happen on gmail or yahoo. With IMAP, it synchronizes you could say to the server, so whatever happens on the client side happens on the server side too.
Also GMail does have IMAP, you just need to enable it. And for Thunderbird users, you will need to set up the IMAP GMail account like any other, do not use the preconfigured option if you want GMail with IMAP. =)

IMAP is so much more centralised and clean. Thumbs up from me.

Imap is like syncing and PoP3 is just download. So not that good.
