POP3 and IMAP are standardized internet protocols used by e-mail clients to download e-mails from an e-mail server. They both do this in a slightly different way, in that neither use the synchronization of contacts and calendars.
What e-mail services use for the synchronization of data can be found in this article Settings of client with calendar and contacts synchronization.

What's the difference between POP3 and IMAP?
POP3 (Post Office Protocol v.3)
Open Thunderbird. From the menu, select Tools, and then click Account Settings. In the new window, select your ProtonMail account, click on the Account Actions button and select Remove account. Make sure the “Remove account information” and “Remove message data” fields are checked. 864 Homes For Sale in Apple Valley, CA.

When using POP3, the e-mail client downloads all the e-mails from the server into the local device where the client is installed. Depending on your settings the messages can be deleted from the server immediately, or after 14 days (for example).
The advantage of using this protocol is that you will not need a huge amount of space in your mailbox, as emails are stored in your local device instead of being stored on the email server. This also means that your e-mails are more under your control.
One disadvantage can be limitation- depending on deleting the messages from the server. Users connected from different devices will only see unread messages. Another problem is restoring emails after a backup, as only those messages which were on server at the time of the backup will be restored.
If you want to share the mailbox with more users, or access it from multiple devices, we recommend you use IMAP protocol.
IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol)
Here, the E-mail client manages e-mails directly on the server. Users can almost instantly see if e-mails were seen or sent by someone. The e-mail itself stays in mailbox, and if it's deleted you won't see it on any device connected to mailbox.
The big advantage here is with the availability of e-mails, you can access them from everywhere because every e-mail stays on the server.

Thunderbird on ARM64/AArch64
Arm platforms are the hot thing in 2021 with Microsoft's Windows 10 ARM, Apple Silicon, and Raspberry Pi, Pinephone/Pinebook, and who knows what's next!
This page is to track progress for running Thunderbird natively on ARM64/Aarch64 based platforms. Eventually Thunderbird will support Windows 10 ARM, Apple Silicon, and Linux on ARM64.
Linux Aarch64
Current Status - 2021-01-27
Linux-aarch64 is a Tier 2 platform. Builds are available on Treeherder for comm-central. There is no automatic update support. This will remain a tier 2 platform until either Firefox upgrades it to tier 1 or we have sufficient community interest.
While this build will run on small screens such as a Pinephone, the UI is definitely not optimized for such use. You can still plug most of these devices into a larger screen and use Thunderbird just fine. Firefox has a similar situation. The PostmarketOS team has developed a mobile-config-firefox package to make Firefox easier to use on small screens. It has limitations, but it may be a good starting point for making Thunderbird small screen friendlier.
Known to run on:
Apple Silicon
Current Status - 2021-01-28
Initial support for running Thunderbird on Apple Silicon hardware landed in comm-central!This includes a new Universal 'shippable' build for macOS as well.
Thunderbird For Apple
More info to come in this spot!
Windows 10 ARM
Will be completed after Apple Silicon support lands and will be a tier one platform. Currently, it's unknown if OTR chat encryption will be possible due to lack of a supported compiler. (libotr and its dependencies do not build with MSVC-style compilers that are used for building Thunderbird itself. MinGW does not support Windows on ARM.)
