A company utilizes an email client that allows users to manage their emails directly on the server rather than downloading them onto individual devices. This allows multiple devices to access and manage the same mailbox. Which protocol is the email client most likely using to provide this functionality?
IMAP is the protocol designed to allow clients to access and manage their emails directly on the mail server. IMAP allows multiple devices to connect to the same mailbox and synchronize the content, making it ideal for users who need to access their email from different locations or devices. Unlike POP3, which generally downloads the emails and often removes them from the server, IMAP keeps emails on the server and synchronizes any actions taken across all devices.
