An employee needs to access their work emails from both a desktop computer at the office and a tablet while travelling. They require all actions, such as marking an email as read or organising messages into folders, to synchronise seamlessly across both devices.
Name the network protocol that should be used to retrieve emails from the mail server to enable this synchronisation.
Practise Edexcel GCSE Computer Science Networks with exam-style questions for GCSE Computer Science. 100 questions covering Why computers are networked, Types of network (LAN, WAN), Structure of the internet, Wired and wireless connectivity performance, Network speeds and transmission calculations, Network and email protocols, The 4-layer TCP/IP model, and Network topologies (bus, star, mesh), matched to the Edexcel GCSE Computer Science (1CP2) specification and written in Paper 1 and Paper 2 style. Every question includes a full worked solution and mark scheme, so you can see where marks are awarded rather than just whether you got the answer right.
