Why is pop3 bad




















The problems arise if you have more than one device where you read your mail desktop, laptop, tablet or phone. Here's why it's bad: You have to delete or file the same email on every device. Logging into each device, you will see lots of unread emails with no indication of which you deleted, read, flagged or filed Any folders you created and organize on one device won't be replicated on the other devices. IMAP allows users to store their email on remote servers. This two-way protocol also allows the user to synchronize their email among multiple devices, which is extremely important today, when most people have at least two devices - their laptop and smartphone.

The original POP was developed in to offer people with a simple means of accessing their email on a remote server. This first protocol required the use of a user name and password and downloaded all the email at once. The release of POP2 in provided a greater range of commands and replies.

Additionally, POP2 allowed the user to choose to read only one message instead of having to download all their email at the same time. In , the release of POP3 made accommodations for the users of personal computers to retrieve their email simply, efficiently, and easily. No revisions have been made to POP since that's 14 years ago, an eternity in Internet years. People who access their email account from computer, and back-up their hard drive regularly, can get by with using POP.

That was why I had trouble mailing back to you. I had to restart several times. How would I find that? I use two different ISPs and have a few web-based email accounts and run XPsp2, if any of this makes a difference. I sure hope you are for real. Somehow I have enabled POP email on my computer.

Then I tried to set these addresses in Mozilla Thunderbird — but even no connection with server. Tell me please, what is the problem? What should i do?

I have never used it as an actual business website for it, even though it offers that service, but solely to redirect all email to it to my actual Yahoo email address assume that were joeblow yahoo. Your email account needs to be upgraded within 45 days to prevent loss of access. After upgrading, you will have these additional options:. What does this mean for my purposes? Do I have to do anything to continue to have my email firstname firstnamelastname. And if so, what?

Huge thanks in advance for your help with this question. I have kept literally thousands of emails that were redirected to my Yahoo email address in this way. Certainly Yahoo! I have a similar email address with my own email domain name.

I get lots of offers and warnings like that which are all phishing spam. Many of the names are of people I do know. For example: a classmate from my 6th grade in who I have not seen since but have received one email 12 years ago, an acquaintance from whom I have received one email, a cousin of my wife with whom I have never communicated but whose name was listed in an email from a different cousin, and the pastor of a church I attended 5 years go.
