In what way is imap different than pop3?..

Answer / Rohit Sharma

IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) and POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3) are both email retrieval protocols. The primary difference between them lies in how they handle emails on the server. IMAP leaves messages on the server, while POP3 downloads and deletes messages from the server, making IMAP more suitable for accessing emails from multiple devices.
