It allows emails to remain on the server, allowing users to send emails from any internet-connected device and access them anytime, anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>When using IMAP, emails are stored in folders on the mail server, and users can access the emails and folders from any IMAP-compatible email client like Outlook, Thunderbird, and others. It is also supported by web-based clients and mobile devices. In addition, IMAP supports advanced features like searching, filtering, and more.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, <strong data-start=\"120\" data-end=\"141\">Microsoft Outlook<\/strong> saves emails, contacts, and calendars in a file format called <strong>PST.<\/strong> These files are usually stored on your computer offline but can also be saved to a network or cloud. PST files make it easy and smooth to backup or move Outlook data. Many users choose to export IMAP emails to PST when transferring email services or creating backups.<\/p>\n<p>You can use the Yota <a href=\"https:\/\/yotasoftware.com\/pst-converter\/\">PST converter<\/a> utility to convert all the emails to PST file with no efforts and without the risk of any data loss in future.
