FAQs

1. What's the difference between IMAP and SMTP? 

IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) and SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) are crucial Internet standard protocols for email communication. IMAP allows users to access and organize emails from a mail server across different devices while keeping them in sync. On the other hand, SMTP handles the sending of emails by relaying them between mail servers. In a nutshell, IMAP deals with retrieving and managing messages, while SMTP focuses on transmitting emails across the internet. 

2. How do I know if I need POP3 or IMAP? 

If you prefer to download emails to a single device and don't require access to them from multiple devices, POP3 might be suitable. It downloads emails to your device and typically removes them from the server. But if you want to keep your emails synced across multiple devices, IMAP is a better choice. So, consider your usage patterns and decide which option aligns better with your requirements.
