Point-to-point

What do the client/server and peer-to-peer network models have in common?

What is an advantage for small organizations of adopting IMAP instead of POP?

Messages are kept in the mail servers until they are manually deleted from the email client.

When the user connects to a POP server, copies of the messages are kept in the mail server for a short time, but IMAP keeps them for a long time.

IMAP sends and retrieves email, but POP only retrieves email.

POP only allows the client to store messages in a centralized way, while IMAP allows distributed storage.

When retrieving email messages, which protocol allows for easy, centralized storage and backup of emails that would be desirable for a small- to medium-sized business?

IMAP

POP

SMTP

HTTPS
