What is a key trade-off of using POP3 for email retrieval compared to IMAP?
POP3 synchronizes emails across devices by keeping them on the server.
POP3 encrypts emails during retrieval to enhance security by default.
POP3 typically downloads and removes emails from the server, limiting multi-device access.

IPv4
The finite address space of IPv4 unexpectedly shaped internet growth and complexity
13 days ago
0
What was a major consequence of IPv4's 32-bit address limitation on the internet's development?
It led to address exhaustion, prompting workarounds like NAT and the creation of IPv6.
It caused the internet to immediately switch to IPv6 after IPv4's introduction.
IPv4's address space was unlimited, so no changes were needed for internet growth.
