Hi @Esthi
Secure! đ
To do this, you need to make sure that all devices use the âIMAPâ protocol instead of the âPOP3â protocol.
You can find the server data here, step-by-step instructions [here](https ://www.swisscom.ch/de/privatkunden/hilfe/e-mail/einrichten.html).

Thank you very muchđ! I still have several questions about this, lots of them. Can you help me with that toođ
1. What about the emails from bluewin, which I can access via the browser. I gave instructions there that it would only be deleted after a few days. So I still want to keep these emails even though I delete them in Outlook. Does this work if I switch to POP3 in Outlook?
2. Now with the IMAP setting I can access the emails on the iPhone and at the same time on the iPad or laptop. Is this still the case after the change, or as soon as I access it on one device, it no longer works on the other devices?đ€
@Esthi on IMAP, all received emails are synchronized on all devices.
This means that if you delete email on one device, the email will also be deleted on the other devices, including webmail.
With POP3, the email is deleted immediately on the WEB-Mail or in 30 days depending on the email client settings.
If you collect email with one device, it is usually no longer available for the other devices, including webmail.
POP3 (Post Office Protocol)
The ability to mark a message as read across multiple devices. This means that every time a user downloads an email using POP to another device, it will appear as a new message instead of showing that it was read on another device.
What advantage does IMAP have over POP3?
Overall, IMAP offers the following advantages over POP3: It is possible to set up folder structures in the inbox. True synchronization with the mail server on all devices is the rule. Outgoing mail can also be saved in folders on the server.
