Answer
POP allows to download emails once the user accesses the email account while IMAP doesn't
Reason — In the POP (Post Office Protocol) protocol, all email messages are downloaded from the mail server to the user's local computer. On the other hand, in the IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) protocol, email messages are stored on the server, and only when the user requests to read a specific email message, it is downloaded from the server to the user's device.
