Abstract
Simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP) transfers mail between servers and sends (injects) new messages, but it’s not well suited to client systems that want to retrieve mail because it wasn’t designed for that. Two protocols designed to allow clients to access and retrieve mail remotely are the Post Office Protocol (POP) and the Internet Mail Access Protocol (IMAP).
