Authentication is required for IMAP, POP3 and SMTP

IMAP email access coordinates between the server and your mail application. Messages that you have read, deleted, or replied to will show up as such, both on the server and in the email application

POP3 does NOT coordinate with the server. Messages that the mail application marks are read, deleted or replied to will not show up as such on the server. This means that future meial downloads with POP3 will show all messages as unread

The system uses SMTP to send outgoing mail.
