Email Protocols


Summary of Advantages and Disadvantages

The main differences between IMAP, POP3 and HTTP are that IMAP leaves your messages on the server, POP3 email allows you to download you email and it can be deleted from the server. Both require a mail program to use and are platform independent. SMTP is used to send email. Finally, HTTP allows for a user to send and receive email using a web service. Advantages of using IMAP or that you can receive email on any computer, but it is slower. POP3 is much faster and uses less server space, but it works on one computer.

Spring Brings Refreshing

It happens every spring. In Alaska our snow starts to melt, and we discover all kinds of things left, lost, and buried in different layers from the winter snow storms. I feel this is the same thing that happens to myself as a teacher as we approach spring. I begin to wrap up projects, self-assess on a larger scale, reflect upon the year and different events. Like items lost in the snow, I discover different projects or ideas started and forgotten, some probably a good idea that they were forgotten and some will be put on the slow cooker for next year. My poor, little blog is one of them. Every year, I dig it back out and tell myself I will return to blogging to share some of the materials, activities, ideas that I always have stewing.
