I was unsure at first, but 143 makes sense.

I recall that TCP port 443 is for HTTPS, so that can't be the answer. I think it’s A) TCP port 143.

I’m a bit confused. Wasn’t TCP port 25 for SMTP? I hope I’m not mixing them up.

I think IMAP4 uses TCP port 143, but I’m not completely sure. I remember something about email protocols.
