Previous Year Question (PYQs)



In the context of "Sending, receiving, and managing emails", what is the primary difference between the POP3 and IMAP protocols?





Solution

POP3 stands for Post Office Protocol version $3$.

It is generally used to download emails from the server to a local device. In many cases, emails may be deleted from the server after downloading.

IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol.

It keeps emails on the server and synchronizes them across multiple devices.

So, POP3 is mainly download-based, while IMAP is synchronization-based.
