Hi Rohan,

The protocol which you use depends on whether you want retrieve emails from the email server, if so you go for POP3, else you go for IMAP.

Hi Rohan,

Yes, you can.

//If yes , then which protocol i can use out of IMAP and POP ?..

You can use either of them. To know more on IMAP and POP, i would suggest you go through these links,

http://www.trincoll.edu/depts/cc/documentation/email/IMAP_vs_POP/default.htm

http://www.imap.org/papers/imap.vs.pop.brief.html

If your are using IMAP, you will have to specify, which folder from which you wnaty the emmail to be retrived, this is not needed for POP.

Hope this helps,
