While you see an email message via IMAP, you don\u2019t download or store it to your PC; instead, you read it from an email service.

POP\u00a0did not provide any assurance of email backup.\u00a0This POP feature can be used to your benefit because the downloaded email can be\u00a0retrieved in either offline mode as long as you are using the same processor or device. If you lose connection to the email server, a person can securely store the email including the attached files.\u202f<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\"> When it comes to IMAP, the advantages and disadvantages are very different because the most prominent feature of IMAP is the powerful backup support that ensures the user&#8217;s emails are stored safely on a remote server.
