      Which is an advantage for small organizations adopting Imap instead of pop?

      In this article, we see the clear definitions of the IMAP and pop means in email accounts. Which is preferred by the small organizations. Let’s start the discussion. E-mail is one of the best communication sources. It is used for either personal use or used for business purposes. It is very easy to use but some terms in the email are a bit confusing like IMAP and pop. What is the major difference between these two terms?

      These two terms are important access or protocol to the email accounts. Let’s see the major differences between these two terms.

      POP email:

      Pop is the abbreviation of post office protocol. It is used in the early days of the internet. It is universally accepted in the years early. There is a different version of pop like POP3 is the third evolution of POP.

      Working of POP:

      Post office protocol work is such a way it downloads the file in the user device from the server and later deletes it from the server. For this apple mail of the client is used for the connection between the server and user device. If the server erases messages after the data are downloaded then if you check your emails from another device it seems some mails are missing.

      With help of POP easily read messages without affecting the other severe process or function. When you access your server to remain messages on the server till delete them or download them manually it is possible you can download the email from other devices even if it is already read or downloaded on your server.

      Advantages of pop:

      The pros and cons of pop email are the following.

      • It reduces the storage space on servers.
      • If there is limited storage space it is best to ignore your limits.
      • If a large amount of data is present in spam emails it also causes a problem for storage issues in the servers
      • The best advantage of POP emails is privacy and security. It can download data and delete it. it helps to maintain our security when the server is self-hosted.

      Disadvantages of POP:

      post office protocol also causes some problems like.

      • Storage problems:

      The major drawback of POP is the location of storage. You download the emails or even send them to your device or server but can not open them on other servers if the setting is not changed.

      • Manually setup:

      In pop, every client-server must use a manual setup.

      • Email support:

      In POP some emails are not supported by the providers.

      What are IMAP email accounts?

      Imap is the abbreviation for Internet Message Access Protocol. It is different from post office protocol. In contrast to POP in IMAP, email messages are live and easy access to email inboxes even from different devices. In POP messages are stored or downloaded but in IMAP it gives live access to the email inbox no matter which type of device is used.

      Advantages of IMAP:

      Some advantages of internet message access protocol are the followings

      • The main advantage is to approach the email inbox from any device.
      • Email is always synchronized regardless of the countless devices are used.
      • If the a strong internet connection there is no problem with email folders.

      Drawbacks of IMAP:

      It works best when the internet connection is strong and also for those users not working on searches with the help of email.

      Which is best?

      POP and IMAP are different advantages and drawbacks. Once we have a bot stable internet connection, we use POP, and if we have stable internet access then use IMAP. Once you need to switch devices in a day then IMAP is the best option over POP.

      Which is best for small organizations?

       For the small organization, IMAP is best over POP because there are some reasons.

      • In IMAP messages remain in a mail server for a long time.
      • If the user uses POP then message copies remained for a short time while IMAP stays for a longer time.
      • IMAP can send and retrieve emails. While POP only retrieves.
      • In POP messages are stored systematically. While in the IMAP store in a distributed way.

      The IMAP is used over pop because in IMAP message are downloaded on the server and messages remain on the server until it is deleted manually.
