How Loopia email accounts work
When you set up your email account you may get the option to use IMAP or POP3 – two different ways to connect.
Our email accounts support both methods but the choice you make will impact your experience.
Let’s take a look at the differences:
IMAP – using several devices
IMAP is the best choice if you wish to:
- Read and send email from different devices (a computer, a phone, a tablet)
- Make all emails to be saved on the server at Loopia
- Share the account with other people
When using IMAP all messages will be stored on our servers. This means that you will see the same messages regardless of where you log in – perfect if you use several different devices. You can also organize your email into different folders, see which messages are read and unread, and syncronize sent/deleted/draft mail between devices.
Our webmail also uses IMAP to connect. Everything you see in your email client will also be there when you log in, as long as you’re using IMAP in your client.
SPAM-filter is enabled by default. Spam is automatically sorted into the folder “SPAM” which can be seen using IMAP and in the webmail.
POP3 – if you prefer to work offline
POP3 can be useful if you wish to:
- Only read emails from one device
- Be able to download and read email locally
When using POP3 your emails will be downloaded locally and will be removed from our server. This will work well if you use one specific device and want to be able to work with your emails without an internet connection.
POP3 will work poorly if you use different devices to read and send emails as messages may disappear as they are stored locally.
Folders created using POP3 are saved locally on your device and not on the server, so your folders will not be visible in our webmail.
SPAM-filter is enabled using POP3 as well, but the SPAM-folder is only visible through an IMAP connection – not via POP3.
If you are still unsure which connection type to use, we recommend IMAP for the best experience.
