Difference Between SMTP and POP3

February 7, 2017 Leave a Comment

To send and receive a mail two agents, message transfer agent and a message access agent are required. The message transfer agent transfers the message from client computer to the recipient’s mail server. Now, it’s the work of message access agent to pull the message from the mailbox present on the mail server at recipient’s side to the recipient’s computer. We have one message transfer agent i.e. SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Agent), and we have two message access agents  POP (Post Office Protocol) and IMAP (Internet Mail Access Protocol). In this article, I have discussed the differences between SMTP and POP3.

The basic difference between SMTP and POP3 is that SMTP is a message transfer agent used to send the message and POP3 is a message access agent used to receive the message.
