Unlike POP (Post Office Protocol), which downloads emails to a device and removes them from the server, IMAP allows users to access their emails from multiple devices while keeping them stored on the server. This enables users to manage their emails more efficiently, as they can synchronize their email accounts across different devices and access their messages from anywhere.

This command releases the IP address lease obtained from a DHCP server, allowing the computer to request a new IP address. It is commonly used when troubleshooting network connectivity issues or when switching between different networks.

    You have installed more RAM on a client’s machine. Which of the following should you do afterwards?

    • Adjust CMOS settings

    • Recalabrate the memory

    • Configure all applications so the RAM is used efficiently

    • Change virtual memory settings

    • Defrag hard drive
