POP

University IT recommends that you avoid using POP when possible.

Do not delete your Zimbra POP account; disable it. Otherwise, you could lose your old POP email. Avoid changing your old account settings to the new account settings. Set up a new account.


Note: There is a known issue when using POP with Outlook 2016. See the Microsoft article  Email is deleted from server or duplicated in Outlook 2016 when downloaded using POP3 for more information.
