POP and IMAP have one major difference: with POP your email is copied to your computer, and then deleted off the server, while IMAP doesn’t copy anything (per se) and keeps everything on the server until you delete it manually. While it might seem like a small difference, the main benefit is that you can have access to your entire email account at any machine with IMAP, while you’re limited to just one with POP. In the early days of email, POP was the standard, but more people are becoming aware of IMAP and are choosing it over POP.

I’m too lazy to go use google so instead I’ll somehow not be too lazy to ask this question here……… what’s the difference between POP3 and IMAP? and which is better and why?

It doesn’t work if I set my Language to English(UK). It has to be English(US). I’m an Aussie so I find this annoying (Uk English is almost exactly the same as AU).

Mikey, I know – this isn’t to break the news, but Google said EVERYONE has it now, because before it was a grab bag to see who had it.
