Actually I'm using POP3, but just looking for improvements in speed. Plus,
fetchm,ail doesn't allow fetch more than one account at a time, and it's
kind slow in the secure handshaking. There is another package should I
"explore" using it to improve speed?
Thanks for your answer
David

Not sure I could say which is faster, but POP3 is more simple and is
intended for what you are doing. IMAP is meant to have all messages
stored on the server and thus supports folders and other more advanced
features.
Based on what you are trying to accomplish, I would use POP3.
