When the application reconnects, it resynchronize with the server. </p> </li> </ul> <p>In both online and disconnected access modes, mail is left on the server, which is important when different computers are used at different times to access messages. Post Office Protocol (POP) and the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) protocols support all the three modes. </p> </conbody><related-links><link href="GUID-9BB849A2-8F69-580D-8A52-C7002D919521.dita"><linktext>Email Overview</linktext> </link> <link href="GUID-AFF7DA70-E993-5943-A27A-266541922E2F.dita"><linktext>IMAP MTM</linktext> </link> <link href="GUID-EADCDE6F-127E-528C-B2E0-F13E5C7FD4EF.dita"><linktext>POP3 MTM</linktext> </link> <link href="GUID-3988C2DE-3FC5-5AF8-BB9F-499E7082F7D5.dita"><linktext>SMTP MTM</linktext> </link> </related-links></concept>
