Features of POP3
- Emails are kept on a single device.
- Emails can only be accessed by one device.
- Additionally, every message sent is stored on the same device.
- The user must enable “Keep email on server” in the settings if they wish to save their messages on their device; otherwise, POP3 will erase them as soon as an app or piece of software installs.

Both of these protocols are accounted for by spam and virus filters. IMAP is more flexible and complex than POP3.
