IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is typically used for retrieving email from a mail server. HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is used for accessing websites, not email. HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is a coding language used to create websites, not for retrieving email. SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is used for sending email, not retrieving it.
