For the past 10 years probably, I'm using IMAP protocol for my mails which allows me to have my mails synced up between my dekstop computer, laptop and a smartphone.
If I want to read something, or even change read/unread status or a folder - I can do it on a single device and it will be done on all devices as well. And even in the event that I'm on some other computer that is not my own, I can simply login into my webmail client and everything will be there.
So, it got me thinking - in this day and age when everyone has multiple devices, mobile data is cheap etc., is there really a need for using POP protocol?
I don't see a single positive thing compared to IMAP - mails are downloaded to a single device, prone to being not backed up etc. I can't imagine the flow where I get email on a smartphone, then go to my laptop and that mail is not there...
Are you still using POP? If so - how does your flow look like? How are you managing POP over several devices?
