How is IMAP different from POP3? Why should I use IMAP Configuration for Zoho CRM?
IMAP and POP3 are simply methods or protocols used to access email. Both could be beneficial depending on what your requirement is.
If you use POP3, your emails will be downloaded from the POP3 server to your mailbox inside Zoho Mail. But if you access your emails from anywhere else, they will not be in sync.
On the other hand, when you use IMAP, you can check emails from more than one device – be it a computer, laptop or a mobile phone.
If you want to be able to access your mails from anywhere, you are better off choosing IMAP, as it enables email sync across multiple devices.
