Gmail and POP3
Date: Saturday, 17 July 2004 02:12 (UTC)Gmail has lots of storage space - POP3 is typically used when you store mail locally and delete it from the mailbox after retrieving it.
Gmail can sort things into labels - POP3 only offers one Inbox.
Gmail allows you to search - POP3 just lets you download all or some mails.
POP3 makes more sense with a "dumb" mailbox; if you wanted to use POP3, you couldn't use Gmail's features anyway, so you might as well use another service.
Gmail with IMAP might make a little more sense, but not POP3. Just two different use cases.
