Best Answer

Your e-mail is stored on your e-mail provider's domain server until you download it to your computer.

Download and delete means the e-mail message is deleted from the server once you have it on your computer. If you delete the message on your computer, the message is gone.

Download and keep means a copy of the e-mail message remains on the server after it is downloaded to your computer. If you delete the message on your computer, the copy remains on the server.

How does the IMAP protocol differ from POP3?

The IMAP protocol differs from the POP3 protocol is that the IMAP doesnt require the user to download all the emails to the PC to check for new emails. It is also much easier to distinguish between read and unread emails while using the IMAP as oppose to the POP3. Some other difference is the IMAP is that you can create multiple email accounts from the PC where as the POP3 requires new email accounts to be created on the server. Another difference is that with IMAP emails can be deleted directly through the server where as the POP3 emails are deleted on the PC.

What is the difference between pop3 and imap4?

The short answer is that IMAP can do everything that POP3 is capable of plus it allows you to create folders on our servers where your email is received and stored, as opposed to only on a client machine with POP3. Using IMAP, you create a single folder organization for storing your email, and any IMAP client (from any machine you use) will see that same structure. If you check email from several different machines, you see the same folder structure and messages from each machine. And, if you choose to have copies of your email on your home computer similar to POP3, IMAP allows you to synchronize your home computer with your email on our servers by pulling a copy of your email onto your local machine. Unlike POP3, your messages won't tend to get scattered among the various machines you use to check email.
