Am I the last person in the world still using POP3?


Recommended Posts

Everywhere I look, and every time I listen to a tech segment on the radio, everybody is trying to tell me to use IMAP instead of POP3.

Screw 'em all.  I love POP3.  My life centres around my desktop computer, where all my emails are downloaded, and diligently backed up, and they only stay on the server for as long as I dictate (7 days).  If somebody hacks my email addresses, they'd better be able to steal my identity based on last week's emails, 'cos that's all they're getting.

Am I the only POP3 guy left in the world?

Nope. POP3 is fine. LOL!!! I think I'm still on POP3, but it could be IMAP these days. Honestly? The most e-mail I get is just spam, so I've stopped paying attention to my e-mail. :D I currently have 32,828 messages on my iPhone. 99.99999% of them are spam of some kind.

It's all these interconnected devices...tablets, laptops, smartphones...so IMAP, to a degree, makes sense. But you work from home and what you do really requires your computer, so you get a Pass. ;)
