My email provider only offers POP3-support. Can I still use YippieMove?

0

No, unfortunately not. POP3 was not designed to permanently hold the messages, but rather just hold them temporarily until the client downloads them to their local machine (and then delete them). As a result, unless you have the ‘leave messages on server’-option checked in your desktop email client, the emails are not saved on the server. Hence, even if we did connect to the POP3-server to try to download the messages, we are not likely to find the messages you would expect us to find there (as they only exist on your local machine). While we could quite easily add support for POP3 in YippieMove, due to the above reason, we have decided against it.
