IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) enables e-mail to be received and stored on an SMTP server and allows clients to obtain their messages by accessing them directly on the server rather than downloading them to their own device. This allows for easier access to messages from multiple devices and locations. MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) and S/MIME (Secure Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) are used to add multimedia elements to emails and provide email encryption and authentication, but they do not enable message access on a server. X.400 is an older messaging protocol that is not commonly used today.
