What's the difference between IMAP and POP?
IMAP and POP are ways you can download your emails from Your Co-op systems to another email application. When you're setting things up, you'll need to choose which one to use.
Here's what they do.
IMAP
Emails stay on the Your Co-op system even after you've checked them on your computer
Whatever you do with your emails happens on all the email applications and devices you're using
You'll need to be connected to the Internet whenever you want to check your emails
Best if you're using different devices for your emails, like an iPad or smartphone
POP
Emails stay on the Your Co-op system until you check them on your computer
Then your emails move from the Your Co-op system to your computer
They won't be on the Your Co-op system anymore
Your emails stay on your computer so you can read them even if you aren't connected to the Internet
