To prevent the loss of your emails with POP3, you can follow these steps:
1. Enable the option “leave a copy of messages on the server” in your email client settings. This will ensure that a copy of all incoming emails is kept on the server.
1. Set up an email forwarding rule to forward all incoming emails to another email account you have access to. This will ensure that even if your computer crashes or your email client malfunctions, you still have access to your emails.
1. Regularly back up your emails on your computer or an external hard drive. This will ensure that you have a copy of all your emails stored locally in case of any server or internet connection issues.
1. Switch to IMAP instead of POP3. Unlike POP3, IMAP synchronizes your email client with the server, ensuring that any changes you make to your emails (e.g., mark as read, delete, move) are reflected both on your email client and on the server. This means that your emails are saved and accessible from any device you use to access your email account.
