What is POP3, IMAP and SMTP servers?

POP3 - Protocol for receiving email messages. When viewing mail using the POP3 protocol, all emails are downloaded to the user and automatically deleted from the server (although it can be disabled). All further actions with letters will be made on the user's computer. The POP3 protocol is preferred if the mailbox uses only one person from a single computer, and access to mail is needed even in the absence of an Internet connection.
IMAP is a protocol that supports the reception and the ability to control email directly on the mail server. When using the IMAP protocol, emails are always on the server and downloaded from there every time viewing. It is very convenient when access to the mailbox must have several people - all transactions with letters that will produce one of them (change the status of the letter to "read", moving letters between folders, etc.) will see and everyone else. Disadvantage - to work with mail, even with old letters, it is necessary to actively connect to the Internet.
The SMTP server is a mail server that supports only sending email. When using the SMTP server, port 25 is used. Some Internet providers block port 25. In this case, you need to either contact the network administrator so that it unlocks the port, or use an alternative port 587.
