I do not *observe* any difference between these two protocols, IMAP and POP3.
I use a mail server (probably Postfix as MTA and Dovecot as LDA/MDA) on my hosting company's server and Thunderbird email client.
Regardless of whether I am online or offline, all messages downloaded via IMAP will be retained on the client's storage folders.
And I see no old emails stored on my server files for email addresses accessed via IMAP either.
Of course, it's possible that IMAP allows local storage of received emails. And it's possible that IMAP may allow a configuration that prevents storage on the mail server.
Perhaps you can elaborate . . . 🤔

so if I use IMAP with my own domainname server it wont store my emails on the e.g outlook or thunderbird servers right?

HI Mr. Carlos, My boss bought the domain name from go daddy. To be honest he do not know nothing and iam helping him to teach him this stuff. Now we are going to buy the Microsoft 365 with exchange server. My question is when we are using outlook using imap or pop3 we are actually paying go daddy for the use of their servers or we are paying them for the domain name or for both. Is Imap and pop3 free or they are part of the domain. Appreciate helping us on this clarification
