A user wants to set up the email on their mobile device so that when they read an item on their computer, it automatically shows as read on their device-or vice versa. What email protocol can they use to accomplish this?
Explanation
Answer: C - A user who wants to setup the email on their mobile device so that when they read an item on their computer, it automatically shows as read on their device-or vice versa, can use the IMAP protocol.
Key Takeaway:
The POP3 email protocol downloads emails onto the device and treats them independently from those on other devices or on the server. IMAP, on the other hand, synchronizes the device with a centralized server; so all devices are in sync. Anyone using multiple devices should be using IMAP for their primary email account (POP still has its uses). LDAP is a directory protocol, and SMTP is the protocol used to send all email (whether it is received via POP or IMAP).
