What Is the Difference Between IMAP and POP3?
Both protocols allow an email application to receive messages, but they manage and store those messages differently.
IMAP Email
IMAP keeps the mailbox and compatible devices synchronised. Actions such as reading, moving or deleting messages are normally reflected on the server and other connected devices.
- Suitable for phones, tablets and computers
- Keeps folders synchronised between devices
- Messages remain stored on the mail server
- Uses the storage included in your package
POP3 Email
POP3 is commonly used to download messages from the mail server to one primary computer or device. The exact behaviour depends on how the email application is configured.
- Suitable for a primary computer or device
- Messages can be downloaded for local storage
- Server copies can be retained when configured
- Synchronisation is more limited than IMAP

SA Domain provides a selection of payment methods so that you can choose the option that is most convenient for you.
