SMTP is the industry standard protocol for sending email. If you’re looking to send email, then you’ll use SMTP instead of IMAP. An SMTP relay service can help you send email without having to build your own SMTP server. IMAP is one of the most common protocols for receiving email. IMAP syncs messages across all devices. POP vs IMAP

POP3 downloads the email from a server to a single computer, then deletes the email from the server.

On the other hand, IMAP stores the message on a server and synchronizes the message across multiple devices.

Generally speaking, IMAP is more powerful and the recommended method for receiving email if you’re working across multiple devices.

Alternatively, if you prefer to have all emails accessible offline, and if you have a designated device for email, then POP could be a suitable option.
