    3030Next, you'll need to decide whether you want a POP account or an IMAP account. Thing to consider in making that choice are [wiki:faq/email/pop-vs-imap listed here]. Using "POP" has the potential to reduce loads on the MayFirst email servers (if you deselect the option to "leave messages on server") when you download the emails to your own computer. With "IMAP", your emails are maintained on the server (until you delete them) so they remain accessible from any computer. If you need to access your emails using webmail or from multiple computers, you may want to configure your email client to use "IMAP" instead of "POP". If so, culling emails regularly will help reduce use of resources on the MayFirst email servers.
     
    7777Lastly, if you are using IMAP, we strongly encourage you to enable offline caching, [http://webchick.net/node/12 as explained] on [http://webchick.net/ webchick.net]. That will make it much faster to read your email.
