It's not that I see a benefit to POP3; it's just that I've never seen a reason to switch. I download my email to a desktop client.

- Sir_Substance 9y agoIMAP does that as well, you just don't have to delete it from the server to do so.
- cperciva 9y agoYou can run POP3 without deleting mail from the server. The POP3 commands for "download message" and "delete message" are completely independent; I typically have my mail client set to delete messages from the server 14 days after downloading them, so that I'll always have recent email in two places.
