VoIP – Voice over Internet Protocol - enables you to make free voice
calls over the Internet through services like Skype, Xbox LIVE, PSN
etc. It is also the same protocol used for sending videos over the
internet.
SMTP – Simple Mail Transfer Protocol – used when the user sends an
email to the senders email server and delivered to the recipients
email server
POP3 – Post Office Protocol – the protocol potentially used by the
recipient. It downloads the email to the recipients device and is then
deleted off the server. The email can be read offline.
IMAP – Internet Message Access Protocol – email is read on the
recipients server but is not delivered. Can be accessed anywhere in
the world with an internet connection.
REMEMBER!
Post Office Protocol – a Postman delivers a letter. He or she doesn’t
store it as well at the post office.
IMAP is just the opposite.
