http://live.besttechie.net - IMAP vs POP3 - which is the better email protocol? Well, it really depends. I like IMAP because it allows me to check my email from multiple locations and leaves a copy of the email on the server.

  • Jeff I know you'll be a big shot one of these days in tech. but the way you explain how tech you could be one of the greatest teacher ever. I learn more from these 4 to 5 minute recordings than any length of time in classes or in books. Well done

  • Thank you randy! That means a lot to me, really it does! :)

  • What do you record with Jeff?

  • I use ustream's recorder and then convert the flv to an mp4

  • No, as in camera.

  • Logitech Orbit MP.

  • what a ugly looking man

  • Thanks for this man, appreciate it!

  • I agree, there is the option to leave messages on server for POP3. But POP3 will still Download the email locally and retain a copy on the server, instead of just the headers.

    I prefer IMAP because if someone sends you a file of XXMB and you know you dont want to read it, you havent wasted bandwidth Downloading it and you can just delete it.

  • hey man, adam here from New Zealand. im a computer tech for a small company.. why are you saying all of this about pop3 vs imap and the emails being sucked from th server with pop3,. if you use (for example)( MS Outlook (most versions) and change the download settin settings s you leave messages on server etc. so tell me, what actually IS THE DIFFERENCE cos what you've said here is WRONG!

  • dude stop reading from your monitor and stop pretending you understand the difference. what you said can be easily found on the internet.

  • Great video (as usual)

    thank you.

  • yup. true

  • Coool!

  • Great video, Jeff! Thanks for the great videos, and keep it up bro!
