An email inbox configured in IMAP mode will allow you to synchronize your emails in real-time with the server. The emails you receive in your inbox will not be downloaded to your PC or device, but you will see the content that exists on the server. Any modifications you make in the inbox, from any of your devices, such as deleting emails, will be reflected directly on the server.
The POP3 mode will download a copy of the emails in your inbox to your PC or device. Once downloaded to your device, they will be removed from the server unless you enable the option to retain a copy on the server. POP3 mode allows you to check the same inbox from different devices without affecting the content on the server.
