Issues with POP3. Is IMAP Better?

Post by flippertom »

Currently, we use POP3 to fetch mails.
Sometimes, mails get stuck creating same tickets repeatedly until the mail is deleted.
This seems to have something to do with POP3.

Is IMAP a better option over POP3 for fetching mails? Please share your experience and suggestions.

:( :(
I've wish to setup fetch mail in the way you have mentioned i.e. using procmail but I've been unsuccessful till now.
I have not completely understood how to set it up.
Going by your suggestion it seems that procmail would be the best option and a good solution to the POP3 issues.

I'll start working on it again. Thanks for the reply!
