POP3 stands for Post Office Protocol Version 3. It's a standard protocol that allows
email clients to retrieve messages from a mail server. POP3 is the most common
protocol for receiving email over the internet.
POP3 is a simple, text-based protocol. It allows a client to connect to a server, retrieve
messages, and mark them as read or unread. POP3 can also download and delete
messages.
One disadvantage of POP3 is that all attachments are stored on your local machine. If
a virus scanner doesn't scan them, there's a high risk of a virus attack. The email folder
that's downloaded from the mail server can also become corrupted.
HTTPS:
HTTPS stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure. It's the secure version of HTTP,
which is the primary protocol for sending data between a web browser and a
website. HTTPS encrypts the data entered into a user's device to safely deliver it to the
website they are interacting with. It also encrypts data going from the website to the
browser.
VoIP:
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a technology that allows users to make calls
using a broadband Internet connection instead of a standard phone line. VoIP converts
the voice signal used in traditional phone calls into a digital signal that travels via the
Internet.
VoIP allows users to make voice calls from a computer, smartphone, other mobile
devices, special VoIP phones, and WebRTC-enabled browsers. VoIP can be used for
services such as video calls, instant messaging, and file sharing.
