II. Keep Mode
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e, Both I and II.
- POP mainly operates in two modes:
- Download and Delete (Delete Mode): This is the default mode in POP. In this mode, emails are downloaded from the server to the client's device, and then they are typically deleted from the server. This means that once an email is retrieved by a client, it is removed from the server and only exists locally on the client's device.
- Download and Keep (Keep Mode): In this mode, emails are downloaded from the server to the client's device but are not automatically deleted from the server. They remain on the server until explicitly deleted by the user or until a certain retention period elapses.
