IMAP and POP are two different protocols for managing e-mail. The Technology Services Department at 鶹Ƶ recommends IMAP for your mail, but supports both POP and IMAP. IMAP allows you the ability to easily access and manage your mail from different locations and platforms. IMAP stores your mail on the server and allows you to organize it in folders on the server. Using IMAP mail will also allow you to access all of your mail while you are away from campus.

We recommend that you do not use "file sharing" (connecting via the network directly from one client computer to another client computer) to transfer files or make them available, as it will expose your computer to security risks and will not be reliable. If you want to transfer or share documents, a better option would be emailing documents, burning them to a CD/DVD, or putting them on a USB drive.
