What is POP and what is IMAP?
In short, POP users store messages on their own computers while IMAP users store messages directly on the server. POP e-mail clients such as Eudora offer more features, functions, filters, and unlimited storage while IMAP clients such as webmail are best for multi-users working in multi-locations. CIS accounts have both and it is recommended that you use Eudora configured for both POP and IMAP simultaneously and to check for new mail every 30 minutes. Note, however, IMAP burdens the server more so we only allow a limited number of simultaneous IMAP connections.
