Which two application protocols retrieve emails from remote servers? (Choose two.)

Answers Explanation & Hints:

IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) and POP (Post Office Protocol) are two email retrieval protocols used to access emails stored on a remote email server.

IMAP allows a user to view and manipulate email messages as if they were stored locally on the user’s device. The email messages remain on the server and can be accessed and managed from different devices or email clients. IMAP also supports multiple mailboxes and folders, allowing users to organize and manage their emails more efficiently.

POP, on the other hand, downloads email messages from the server onto the user’s device and removes them from the server. Once downloaded, the email messages can only be accessed on that specific device. POP does not support multiple mailboxes or folders, making it less flexible than IMAP.

Both protocols use port numbers to communicate with the email server. IMAP uses port number 143 for unencrypted connections and port number 993 for encrypted connections (IMAP over SSL/TLS). POP uses port number 110 for unencrypted connections and port number 995 for encrypted connections (POP over SSL/TLS).
