What is the difference between POP3 or IMAP? Back to top

POP3 works by reviewing the inbox on the mail server, and downloading the new messages to your computer's hard drive. IMAP downloads the headers of the new messages on the server, then retrieves the message you want to read when you click on it.
When using POP3, your mail is stored on your PC.
When using IMAP, the mail is stored on the mail server. Unless you copy a message to a “Local Folder” the messages are never copied to your PC.

There is a possibility that the email that was sent was not from your account, but was instead spoofed to appear that it did.

E-mail address spoofing:
The sender information shown in e-mails (the "From" field) can be spoofed easily. This technique is commonly used by spammers to hide the origin of their e-mails and leads to problems such as misdirected bounces (i.e. e-mail spam backscatter).

E-mail address spoofing is done in quite the same way as writing a forged return address using snail mail. As long as the letter fits the protocol, (ie. stamp, postal code) the SMTP protocol will send the message. It can be done using a mail server with telnet.

How can I backup my email messages in Outlook (IMAP ONLY)? Back to Top

If your mail is set up as IMAP, you can move the folders off the server and on to your local machine - you'll just want to be sure to back up your email. In Outlook, make a folder for the messages you wish to keep under Personal Folders. (Right click on Personal Folders and left click on New Folder and type in the name of the folder. If you're using Outlook 2007, Folder contains Mail and Post Items and make sure it's set to Personal Folders.

Click the folder on the server that you wish to move locally and drag it into the new folder you made under Personal Folders. It may take a while depending on the size of the folder. You can also do this with individual messages. To back these folders up on your machine, you can use the Microsoft Outlook Personal Folders backup tool. Here are instructions for doing that. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA010875321033.aspx
