Email protocols are set of rules used for sending and receiving e–mails. Common protocols used in email communication include IMAP, POP3, SMTP and SSL/TLS. IMAP and POP3 are used for retrieving emails from the server and SMTP is used for sending emails out. SSL/TLS is used for secure transmission of emails across the internet.
Email protocols are the rules and standards for transferring email messages between different systems. The most common email protocols are Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), Post Office Protocol (POP3), Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP), and Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP). Each of these protocols serves a different purpose and helps ensure that email messages are sent and received securely and reliably.
