Difference between the IMAP, POP and Exchange ActiveSync

The difference between the IMAP, POP and Exchange ActiveSync:


Each of these email protocols operates on a web-based system to transfer messages from a server. In addition, each one supports most, if not all, email clients. So, no matter what email client you choose, you can access your email on a remote server.


IMAP: 
       IMAP supports both online and offline account access. It provides advanced sync features, and lets you view and manage messages without removing them from the server. Therefore, any changes you make are saved and reflected from all locations.


POP:
      The POP protocol lets you read email messages without a constant Internet connection. POP downloads the messages from your server to your local computer or phone. While you can save a copy of the messages on your server, changes made from the local device are not saved on the server.


Exchange ActiveSync:
       The Exchange ActiveSync® protocol provides a robust syncing tool for all of your email, calendar, contacts, and other communications between your desktop, mobile device, or Internet connection. With your Hosted Exchange Email account and your Exchange ActiveSync-enabled phone, you have secure access to communications from anywhere.
