  • What is POP and IMAP? How does email work? This is an animated video explaining the difference between POP and IMAP. These are email protocols that are used to retrieve email from an email client, such as Microsoft Outlook. Should I choose POP or IMAP? Which one is better?

    Serious this is the single best explanation on TH-cam about the difference in these two mail protocols. I'm currently studying for my 10-006 network + exam and all my study material doesn't explain it this well. This channel is a great resource for anyone learning about networking concepts. Thanks!

Thanks a lot!😊

    I think this guy should teach step by step to the bean counters of Boeing why the 737-Max 8 is a flaw. For sure some engineers at Boeing have done that but to explain complex stuff in a clear and straightforward way would give amazing clarity.
    I have seen some videos about cables, WEP/WPA, DHCP in this same channel and it is incredibly clear. I'm thinking of sharing them with my 79-y.o. mom. Very good scripts, graphics, voice and timing. Keep up the good work!

  • @flightofthecondor
    @flightofthecondor 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Very well explained, especially the technical and practical aspects.
    I've been using the Internet since 1996/1997, when we only had dialup Internet access, so my e-mail client Netscape mail and Outlook Express used POP to download e-mails from my mailbox and then hang up when done. Ditto when sending mail. As you rightly pointed out, with POP the downloaded e-mail resides on the client and is still accessible on the client even without an Internet connection. I make it a point to regularly back up the messages, addresses and settings of my e-mail client and move it to external storage.
    Since then I have continued to use mostly POP to access my personal e-mail even over an always-connected fibre connection but I have begun to use IMAP for e-mail accessed by parties or devices, such as association or business e-mail. A slight disadvantage is that it takes a bit longer to download all the content, especially attachments with an e-mail message, than with POP e-mail, but that's not a major issue. Of course, if my Internet connection is down, it will certainly be an issue with accessing IMAP e-mail messages, though in that case, being unable to download or send POP e-mail without an Internet connections is not very much better.

      "A slight disadvantage is that it takes a bit longer to download all the content, ..."
      I don't think this is much of an issue, especially not back then when the internet connections were much slower than today.

  • @jyoules9833
    @jyoules9833 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for this excellent explanation, I have seen several before but this is the first that really makes sense!
    Since my email client (Forte Agent) only works with POP3 I don't use IMAP, but I'm not sure how IMAP would work when I have email accounts with several providers and I often create and merge folders in FA.
    You mentioned that POP3 deletes emails as it downloads them - however all my mbxs on websites have emails going back years, I suspect that is because I use the FA option not to delete messages on the website as they are read.
