An application developer is creating a new email client and needs to implement a protocol that allows the email client to access and manipulate messages stored on a server without requiring the messages to be downloaded on the client's machine. Which protocol and port should the developer use to meet this requirement?
IMAP and port 143 are used by email clients to access and manipulate email messages directly on the email server, allowing the user to organize and manage emails without needing to download them. This functionality is not provided by FTP (File Transfer Protocol), which is designed for transferring files between a client and a server, and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), which is used for collecting and organizing information about managed devices on IP networks.
