Title: IMAP
Post by: Andy_A on March 03, 2017, 10:21:45 pm

I am using pro version.  I have (2) email accounts set up.  Personal Gmail (IMAP) and business (POP3).  I am unable to set up the pop 3 to as "push mail".  Any advise on how I can enable push mail for the pop3 account.

PUSH (immediate new mail notification is only available for IMAP (or EWS) connection, not for POP3.
POP3 is the oldest (of the three) protocol, and has no support for sustaining an open connection, AFAIK.

POP3 is from 1996 and does not provide:

- Access to server folders
- Push mail
- Uploading sent messages
- Marking messages read/unread/starred on the server
- And probably a few things I'm forgetting right now.
