Explanation

IMAP4 (Internet Message Access Protocol version 4) is the best choice for multi-device email access because it stores messages on the mail server and synchronizes state (read, deleted, folder) across all connected clients. Changes made on one device are reflected on all others. POP3, by contrast, typically downloads and removes mail from the server. SMTP is for sending email, not receiving it. FTP is for file transfers, and SNMPv3 is a network device management protocol - neither is used for email retrieval.
