Current recommended good practice is to use secure connections eg typically on port 465 (secure SMTP), port 993 (secure IMAP) & port 995 (secure POP), although some situations & protocols require different ports eg 587. Current recommended good practice is to configure email clients to use secure SMTP & secure IMAP, so that users can access their mail from any device (mobile phone, tablet, notebook, desktop etc), anywhere (LAN or WAN), & all changes made on one device will update the mail server, so when using another device the same changes are seen. Use of the POP mail protocol has severely declined with the advent of mobile devices.
