IMAP stands for which term?

• A. IMAPS
• B. IMAP
• C. IP
• D. IR

Answer: (B)

IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol. It’s the email retrieval protocol that lets you read and manage messages stored on a mail server, so you can access the same mailbox from multiple devices without downloading and removing messages from the server. There is a secure variant often referred to as IMAPS (IMAP over SSL/TLS), but the expansion of IMAP remains Internet Message Access Protocol. IP is a different protocol (Internet Protocol) used for routing data, and IR isn’t a standard email protocol.
