Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is designed to keep messages on the server and replicate copies of those messages to the clients. This allows for multiple devices to access and manage the same set of messages, as well as for messages to be accessed from different locations. In contrast, POP (Post Office Protocol) typically downloads messages from the server to the client, so messages may not be accessible from multiple devices or locations unless specifically configured to leave copies on the server.
