Explanation

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is the protocol used to send email. When configuring a desktop email client, SMTP must be set up to allow the user to send outgoing messages to other users or mail servers. POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3) is used for downloading/receiving email from a server. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used for network device management and monitoring, not email. ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) is used for diagnostic tools like ping - it has no role in email delivery.
