Hello, is it possible POP3 / IMAP services to be used simultaneously or we need to choose one of them? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

You can use both, but whether that's wise is another question 😉 Keep in mind, if you are using POP3 and deleting mails from the server, those mails will obviously also not be available via IMAP anymore. So to not experience any nasty surprises, I advice to do some testing first. |

Some POP3 clients catch mails from the server and delete them afterwards or after a given time.
