I have recently moved my ISP and part of the migration included all of my email history. When I use my new ISP's cPanel I can see all of my migrated emails and the folder structures under the Inbox folder with the expected emails therein.
I have just added this account to Outlook 2013 on my PC as a POP3 connection and it has connected and sent the test email expected. However in Outlook all of the emails have come through as unread in the Inbox folder NOT in the sub folders, in fact the
sub-folders do not show at all.
Any idea why this could be happening?
Dear Keith,
Let me provide you a clear picture and you can decide which account you want to go with:
| POP |
IMAP |
| 1. All the emails will come in the mailbox as unread |
Only the mails which are unread will be shown as unread |
| 2. This synhronizes only your inbox |
This synchronizes all the mails in inbox and subfolders |
| 3. Any folder created in POP account will not be visible under the webmail |
Here its vice versa that is if you create folder in outlook it will be on webmail and if you create it on Webmail its there on outlook as wel |
| 4. You can have a back copy of your data file |
All the mails are present on the server |
| 5. This will not to sync any phone or other email addresses |
This syncs to all devices. So if you deleted a mail which you do not require from the outlook it will get deleted from all devices |
| 6. In POP account the mails will come as soon as the account is configured |
In IMAP it would take time to synchronize but once synced then it will work fine |
