@nixCraft POP in 2025 is wild. If you're still using it, you should reconsider

I use POP when i can.
I have also set all my IMAP accounts to "delete after download" in Thunderbird.
I don't want my emails to linger on an IMAP server longer than necessary, esp. with all companies now using the modern "AI" to sift through everything.

But that's just me. You do you.

@Brokar @nixCraft there should be only one company able to go through your mail with AI (two of you include the sender's provider), and if they want to do that, they're able to do so before any of your clients see the mail, regardless of protocol. If you care about this issue, do not use mail for anything where AI access is a problem
