Re: POP3 ~ IMAP accounts

Gmail has a good explanation:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/a...n&answer=75725

What Gmail doesn't say is that IMAP is more sluggish than POP,
and there are fewer IMAP experts to help you when problems arise.

======================

And this sluggishness means that if you're reading mail via a mobile device,
such as an iPhone, you're going to be online longer and paying more.
