Detailed explanation-1: -Local storage is not required to store mail items. Users can access email account from multiple devices. The emails remain safe on the server even if the client machine fails or is stolen/destroyed. Email status, such as read, unread, is also saved on the server and synchronized across all devices.
Detailed explanation-2: -IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol. This second method, like POP, is used for email retrieval purposes, and starts by accessing email from a remote server. Instead of then storing locally and deleting from the server, the email just simply stays on the server.
Detailed explanation-3: -As a result, you can check your email from different devices, anywhere in the world: your phone, a computer, a friend’s computer. IMAP only downloads a message when you click on it, and attachments aren’t automatically downloaded. This way you’re able to check your messages a lot more quickly than POP.
