Post Office Protocol

1.POP is a message-retrieval protocol used by many PC mail clients to get messages from a server, typically your ISP’s mail server. It only allows you to download all messages in your mailbox at once. It works in «pull» mode: the receiving PC initiates the connection. PC-based POP3 mail clients can do this automatically at a preset interval. When you use your Web mail account to access a POP3 mailbox, the mail server opens a connection to the POP3 server just as a PCbased application would. The messages are then copied into your Web mailbox and read via a browser.

2.Since POP3 downloads all the messages in your mailbox, there is an option to leave messages on the server. This does mean that you’ll get every message downloaded every time you connect to the server. If you don’t clean out your mailbox regularly, this could mean long downloads. Many Web mail systems won’t recognize messages you’ve already downloaded, so you’ll get duplicates of ones you haven’t deleted.

Internet Mail Access Protocol

3. IMAP is similar in operation to POP, but allows you more choice over what messages you download. Initially, only message headers are retrieved, giving information about the sender and subject. You can then download just those messages you want to read. You can also delete individual messages from the server, and some IMAP4 servers let you organize your mail into folders. This makes download times shorter and there’s no danger of losing messages.

XI. Look through passage 1 and explain what POP is used for? How does this protocol allow the user to download messages to his mailbox?
