The main difference between POP and IMAP is the way that email messages are stored. POP (Post Office Protocol) downloads the messages from the server to a single device like a computer, tablet, or smartphone. The messages are then removed from the server and stored locally. IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) keeps the messages on the server and synchronizes them across multiple devices. This means that if a message is read, deleted, or moved on one device, it will be reflected on all other devices that have IMAP enabled.
