Hi there all,
POP is Post Office protocol. It simply downloads all of your new messages to
your computer for you to read.
IMAP is Internet Message Access Protocol. Your messages, folders, filters, and
the like can reside on the server and your computer syncs to them. The
advantage, is, so I am told, is that you can access your account from work,
home, or anywhere else and everything syncs.
The problem I found that VO keeps saying, Mail is busy and it takes time to
sync when you delte, move, or do anything with your mail.
POP is simpler and is easier to manage as far as I'm concerned.

I do not have any understanding as to the difference between the two of them.
I do not know what pop is or what imap is. However, I was going by the example
of what someone had set up for me on another gmail account.

Out of curiosity, why did you decide to go with pop3, as opposed to imap? There
might be a good reason to do so, but I can't think of one.

I don't know what I am doing wrong but I am trying to add a gmail account to
apple mail and it just won't work. I have followed all the steps to the best
of my ability and I just cannot get it to work. The closest I've come is
getting an error message saying that pop.gmail.com cannot be verified and may
be a security risk if I continue. Those are not the exact words but it's the
general idea. Are there any ideas as to what is going on. I've read
everything I could on the gmail website to see why I've gotten this error
message and also as to why this is not working at all. I currently have a pop
gmail account working in apple mail and I've tried using similar settings for
the new gmail address but I cannot get it to work. On the gmail side I did
enable pop mail so that isn't the problem. Someone else set up the first gmail
account for me but I just cannot seem to figure out how to set up the second
account on my own.
Thanks for any hints,
Christina

This is rather bizarre.
It's my Windows machine that has a severe lag when moving or deleting
IMAP mail, but the Macbook Air is lightning fast and responds
immediately when taking actions on IMAP mail.
