Techanological Institute of The Philippines: 938 Aurora Boulevard, Cubao, Quezon City

The document compares IMAP and POP3 email protocols. IMAP allows messages to remain on the server, supports offline access, and keeps track of message state across multiple devices. Advantages include backed up servers and access to messages from any location. Disadvantages include complex maintenance and needing an active internet connection to view emails. POP3 downloads messages to a local computer, is a common protocol, and works well for slow connections. However, messages are not accessible from other locations and backups can be difficult.
