IMAP vs POP
What's the difference?
There are two techniques that you can use to check your email. POP (Post Office Protocol) and IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol). Each has their benefits and shortcomings. POP downloads all of the messages to your machine where you can access them while IMAP leaves the messages on the server and requires that you have an active Internet connection to read them.

In Microsoft Outlook 2002, 2003, and 2007, what are personal folder files, and how do I create them?

Personal folder files contain messages, forms, files, and other personal folders. You work with a personal folder file as you would with any other file.
