POP3 works differently than . It downloads emails from the server and stores them locally on the device. Once the download is complete, the emails are generally removed from the server unless an option has been set to store them. POP3 does not allow synchronization between devices, so actions taken on one are not reflected on the others. This protocol is suitable for those who prefer to have their emails saved on a single device, perhaps to save server space or to access messages offline without the need for continuous connection.
