IMAP, of course! I always thought it stood for 'I'M'A'P'erfect'email'protocol'.

IMAP, got it! This is a classic networking question. Now if only I could remember what SNMP stands for...

That's correct! POP3 is another protocol used for email retrieval.

Hmm, I was debating between IMAP and POP3, but IMAP makes more sense if you want to access your emails remotely without downloading them.

I remember learning about IMAP in my networking class. It's a really useful protocol for people who use multiple devices to check their email.

POP3 is more about downloading emails to your local machine, so it's not the best choice for this scenario.
