Explanation

IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is the correct choice for keeping email synchronized across multiple devices. Unlike POP3, which downloads and typically removes messages from the server, IMAP stores messages on the server and syncs the state (read, deleted, folders) across all connected clients - smartphone, desktop, and server all reflect the same mailbox. SSL provides encryption but not synchronization. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are wireless connectivity technologies, not email protocols. IMAP is the standard protocol for multi-device email synchronization.
