A user is setting up their corporate email on a new mobile device using a client application. They need to configure the protocol that will retrieve messages from the mail server. Which of the following protocols should they configure for this purpose?
SMTP
NFC
POP3
HTTPS
Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) is a standard mail protocol used to receive emails from a remote server to a local client. It downloads the email, and in its default configuration, removes it from the server. Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is incorrect because it is used for sending emails from a client to a server. Near-field communication (NFC) is incorrect as it is a set of communication protocols for connecting two electronic devices over a very short distance, typically 4 cm or less. Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is incorrect; while it is used to secure web traffic and is used by webmail interfaces, native email clients typically use POP3 or IMAP to retrieve messages.
