The Post Office Protocol (POP) is a protocol used for retrieving email messages from an email server to a client. It performs the same function as the Internet Mail Access Protocol (IMAP), which is used for accessing email on an email server from a client. The other options, Open Settlement Protocol (OSP), Application Configuration Access Protocol (ACAP), and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) are not used for retrieving email messages from a server to a client. OSP is used for billing and settlement in telecommunications networks, ACAP is used for accessing directory information, and SMTP is used for email transmission between mail servers.
