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.
    Explanation:

    IMAP and POP are protocols that are used to retrieve email messages. The advantage of using IMAP instead of POP is that when the user connects to an IMAP-capable server, copies of the messages are downloaded to the client application. IMAP then stores the email messages on the server until the user manually deletes those messages.
