Do you access your e-mails from various devices such as your computer, tablet or smartphone? Then we recommend using IMAP.

All your e-mails will be stored on the server, and you can access them from anywhere.
Your data is synchronized so that your e-mails, folders, etc. always have the same status on all devices.
Your data is secure, even if your device is defective or lost.

Do you always access your e-mails from the same device, which only has limited access to the Internet? Then POP3 offers you more advantages.
