Serious this is the single best explanation on RU-vid 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!
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!
Every time when I got stuck into a situation where I am not able to understand any topic, that I need to cover in a short time, from any other channel, I used to visit your channel videos, and finally, it is the place where I am able to find the content (animated) that satisfies my need and my mind. Thanks a lot!😊
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.
Thank You for this necessary information ! I’ve asked , What’s the deal , I feel like a idiot already . They look at me like I am a grasshopper in a jar ! The answers given do not fit my circumstances . This whole series is on a different level . I can actually understand it ! Again , Many Thanks !
Clean explanation. Way better voice and narration than techquickie has, don't even mention about Hindi 'profesionals'. Looking forward to your new videos. BTW appreciate gags at the endings.
Thank you for this clear and concise explanation. This is the first time I have actually understood the two protocols and how to decide which one I should be using.
Good and clear explanation! The problem with IMAP however, as I have found after 23 years in the IT business, is that many clients want to use IMAP for use with multiple devices, but will not remember that IMAP will most assuredly cause their mailbox on the server to fill up with old mail messages and eventually people trying to send to your email address will receive the message "Recipient mailbox is full". Like a bucket under a dripping water tap, the bucket will finally overflow unless some or all of the water in it is emptied periodically. It does not really matter how large the allocation of space for the mailbox may be, over enough time and enough incoming messages this invariably becomes a problem because users/clients do not manage their email correctly.
I have a few users who send/receive approximately 15 to 20GB every 1 year. Yes, I agree, their mailboxes will hit the (50GB) limit in a couple of years. Mailbox limit used to be 10 to 20 MB about 25 years ago. It has multiplied by a large number but users now send hundreds of MB attachments every day.
@@shaggydawg5419 Where I am located that space of 50GB would cost a bundle on any commercially available server. With that allocation of space many problems that I see would be mostly solved, but even clients who have large space (in our terms that would be 20GB) do not want to pay for it and even after being advised to manage their space allocation, the problem can remain. We then get the complaint "My email doesn't work anymore!"
Very clean explanation of the differences, however, you left out one aspect: IMAP Advantage: The mail stays on the server. Disadvantage: The mail stays on the server. If one is concerned with privacy, one does not want one's mail sitting there on someone else's server. With POP, your mail is moved to your control (for better or worse...)
POP3 for me...save space on email server + you have a local copy whenever you need it, even if internet/ email are down...leave on server for 30 days until delete and let your phone or tablet grab em too! POP3 is old, but works like a champ still!
Some internet providers don't let you choose. We had Telenet in Belgium and with your subscription, you only had a mailbox of 50Mb in size. And the only protocol they had was POP3. There was no option to use IMAP. You can't keep alot of emails on the server with only 50Mb. And mails were limited to 5Mb per email. So adding 3 photo's from your smartphone's camera was too much and the email didn't send.
Just so people just learning this information do not get confused POP3 and IMAP are standardized protocols but when using a Microsoft Exchange Mail Server the protocol it typically uses to fetch email is called "Exchange ActiveSync" or EAS for short. EAS keeps a copy on the server and downloads it locally for offline viewing and syncs as soon as it comes back online so deleted items dont come back to your inbox. it also syncs more than just mail - it also syncs things such as calendars and contacts. EAS passes base64 encoded XML documents (very lightweight) back and forth to assure that the information is up to date all the time. EAS much like POP3 and IMAP also supports TLS encryption but also supports extra features such as digital signatures. This is why exchange is so dominate in the corporate email world.
Many mail clients have an option to leave the original mail copy on mail server even with POP3. Great detail. Btw, Gmail Pop3 configuration keeps mail on server even after retrieval, by default.
Absolutely wonderful explanations all around! It is so helpful how you not only provide an explanation/description of a technology and the way it works but then you immediately provide an example demonstrating the explanation.
What I love about this video is the fact that it does not say whether pop3 is good or imap is better. Both serve their purposes. I was thinking about imap, but since I access most of my emails through outlook (PC), pop3 is practical for me.
u know what mister , i really like to watch all of your videos ! its really easy to understand ! i never find such a great explanation better than this video ! thankyou so much thankyou
Powercert we can see how mush effort you put to make such videos, amazing explained, if I show this to my little brother too who is in non tech background he will understand everything. Amazing animtion
So internet message access protocol, is way better than pop (Post office protocol) 1)Pop- downloads only inbox 2) IMAP- downloads inbox and all the remaining folders 1)Pop- can be used only in 1 device 2) IMAP- Can be used in multiple devices 1)Pop- after downloading all the emails will be deleted from mail server where as in imap it doesn't happen like that
biggest disadvantage to IMAP is that any device can delete the emails, so they are lost forever. With POP3 the option exists to leave it on the server so that the other devices can get it later. Accidents happen, and IMAP is unforgiving of accidental deletion.
