POP3
You only check e-mail from one system.
You want to remove your e-mail from the mail server.
Set to take out mail from server after 30 days.
Dont check more frequently than every 15 minutes.
75 MB is the maximum for POP3 users. POPing large mail boxes use too much server resources.
You should download all email again when using a different desktop PC to check your email.
Outgoing email is saved only locally on the desktop computer.
IMAP
You check e-mail from multiple locations.
You use Webmail.
Do NOT check all folders for new messages! This slows your e-mail significantly.
Use mail/ as your IMAP folder directory.
No should download all email when using new desktop PC to check your email.
Outgoing email can be filtered to a mailbox on server for accessibility from other system.
