There are two main Email protocols that are used worldwide: Imap and POP. The one you choose will have a great impact on how you send, receive or use your email messages. POP (Post Office Protocol) used to be the popular choice of protocol but these day people are opting for IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) over it. You can more learn about IMAP or POP email protocol from experts at Telstra Email Support Number. But first learn basic things about IMAP and POP and their setting in Telstra mail service.

IMAP

IMAP allows you to access your email service via internet and it keeps your messages stored in Server. When you open your email through IMAP you are not actually downloading it in your computer but you are reading them off of the server, this makes it easy for you to check your mail from different devices.

POP

POP contacts your email server and downloads all your emails through it. In POP’s case once you download a email, it will automatically get removed from the server. The main drawback of using POP is that you can’t check the mail from different devices, if you have downloaded a mail in one device then that same mail will not open in other device. Any changes you make on that device won’t be reflected on Telstra server or on other devices.
