HTTP is used to transfer hypertext documents over the internet. It is the protocol that is used to power the World Wide Web.
SMTP is used to send email messages over the internet. It is the protocol that is used by email clients like Outlook and Gmail to send and receive email messages.
FTP is used to transfer files over the internet. It is a more basic protocol than HTTP, and it is often used to transfer large files or files that are not meant to be viewed in a web browser.
POP3 and IMAP are both protocols that are used to receive email messages over the internet.
- POP3 is a simpler protocol, and it is often used with email clients that are stored locally on a computer.
- IMAP is a more complex protocol, but it allows users to access their email messages from multiple devices.
Therefore, the only pair that is correctly matched is E - mail - SMTP.
