Detailed explanation-1: -IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol. This second method, like POP, is used for email retrieval purposes, and starts by accessing email from a remote server. Instead of then storing locally and deleting from the server, the email just simply stays on the server.
Detailed explanation-2: -IMAP ports Port 993 is the secure port for IMAP and it works over TLS/SSL encryption.
Detailed explanation-3: -Post Office Protocol 3, or POP3, is the most commonly used protocol for receiving email over the internet. This standard protocol, which most email servers and their clients support, is used to receive emails from a remote server and send to a local client.
Detailed explanation-4: -One of the great benefits of using the IMAP protocol (instead of POP3) when collecting your incoming email is that the mail remains on the mailserver. This means that you can view your mail in more than one device (e.g. desktop computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone) and your view is synchronised between these devices.
