I think the answer is IMAP. That protocol is designed for accessing email on a remote server, rather than just downloading everything to your local computer like POP3 does. Should be a straightforward choice if you know the differences between these email protocols.

IMAP is definitely the way to go here. It gives you that remote access to your email account, so you can view and manage your messages without having to download them first. Seems like the most efficient option for this scenario.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I know SMTP is for sending emails, and POP3 is for downloading emails to the local machine. But I'm not sure which one lets you work with emails on the server. I'll have to think this through.

Hmm, configuring VIP LIFs using BGP or OSPF seems like the way to go here. I've done some work with those protocols before, so I think I can tackle this.
