Linux за българи: Форуми

Ползвам имейла усилено всеки ден и се чудех дали POP3, който ползвам сега е подходящ и дали не изпускам нещо от IMAP?

Microsoft Exchange. Не се шегувам ни най-малко.

Иначе IMAP е по-доброто решение, защото пази папки на сървъра.

Аз ползвах dIMAP преди, сега IMAP... Двата адреса в Gmail и този в AOL... Исках и адреса в абв.бг, ама искат пари да ги ***, а и е POP3...

Ето какво изрових с Гууугъл:

POP advantages

- messages load very quickly once they're downloaded
- messages are stored on your hard drive so they're not subject to server storage limits and quotas
- widely supported by ISPs and email providers
- all email programs support it

POP disadvantages

- messages are stored on your hard drive so they're not accessible from other computers
- sent mail and drafts are not accessible from other computers either
- messages are eventually removed from the server
- messages are stored in files that are not compatible between different programs
- it's usually difficult to migrate from one program to another, sometimes impossible
- it's cumbersome to copy your email to another computer (office, home, school, laptop, etc.)
- users normally don't have backups of their email

IMAP advantages

- messages are stored on the server are accessible from any computer and webmail anywhere in the world
- IMAP mail folders remain synchronized with IMP (webmail)
- sent messages and drafts are also stored on the server
- server-side spam filtering is easily implemented with IMAP
- IMAP mail is backed up nightly on the server and can be restored
- ease of migration from a program to a program and from a computer to another computer/location
- ease of setting up additional computers to check your email, no need to copy anything fro one computer to another

IMAP disadvantages

- messages load slower, in particular the first time they're read
- sensitive to size and requires periodic archival of email messages
- subject to storage quotas (not the case with Saturn, however)
- very few ISPs and email providers offer IMAP as it is considered a high end option and it's complex for them to support
- not all email programs support it properly
