Additional Information to Remember
Apart from the various setting options to consider, several other deliberations and information to bear in mind when using the Mailfence email server.
For starters, IMAP gives you access to all of your communications, including personal folders and sent messages, whereas POP3 allows you to receive new notifications in the Inbox. To put it another way, IMAP enables synchronization between Mailfence and other email clients, a feature where POP3 falls short.
Moreover, the synchronization can get restricted to only the folders that you use regularly. Furthermore, if you configure your program to download the entire message — rather than just the headers — you will be able to utilize your messaging services when not connected to the internet.
Also, IMAP always retains a copy of the messages sent and received on the server. If necessary, you can access all of your communications through the Mailfence Web interface or your mail software without the fear of losing or missing any messages.
Because IMAP downloads the headers, it is faster than POP3. When you click on a message to read it, the remaining content, including the message body and attachments, is downloaded subsequently. Therefore, except for messages that have already gotten completely downloaded, you must connect your computer to the Internet to access them.
💡 Note: In the end, it would be wise to select POP to consolidate all your email accounts into a single mailbox, such as the one supplied by the Messages tool. POP3 is a suitable alternative if you require access to your Inbox from a fixed number of devices. On the other hand, sending emails requires a separate configuration of SMTP services.
Alternatively, choose IMAP to handle your email addresses in separate mailboxes. Additionally, IMAP enables the management of a single mailbox from various access points: web interface, email program on your computer, smartphone, or tablet, and so on. However, as with POP3, sending emails requires a separate configuration of SMTP services in this platform.
