Q15➡| Computer Network Which of the following protocol pairs can be used to send and retrieve e-mails (in that order)?
i ➥ IMAP, POP3
ii ➥ IMAP, SMTP
iii ➥ SMTP, MIME
iv ➥ SMTP, POP3
Show Answer With Best Explanation
Answer: IV
Explanation: SMTP: SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and is a TCP/IP protocol used in sending e-mail . It’s a set of communication rules that allow software to send email over the Internet.
POP3(Post Office Protocol 3) and IMAP(Intractive Mail Access Protocol): POP3 and IMAP are two different protocols used to access email. POP3 and IMAP function very differently and each has its own advantages. POP3 is useful in checking emails from a computer that is in a specific location. IMAP is the better option when we need to check our emails from multiple locations, such as at work, from home, or on the road, using different computers.
