Ports to access POP and IMAP mail servers

For networks, a port means an endpoint to a logical connection. The port number identifies what type of port it is. Here are the default email ports for:

POP3 - port 110

IMAP - port 143

SMTP - port 25,26,587

        Secure SMTP (SSMTP) - port 465

IMAP4 over SSL (IMAPS) - port 993

Secure POP3 (SSL-POP) - port 995

*Though SMTP generally uses port 25 for connections, port 587 is actually the preferred port for outbound SMTP traffic due to the widespread abuse of port 25.
