Cevap

Port 993 is the default TCP port used for secure Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAPS).
Port 993 is the industry-standard well-known port designated for IMAP over SSL/TLS (IMAPS), providing encrypted email access between client and server.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the required protocol and security mode specified in the scenario.
The scenario requires configuring encrypted email retrieval using IMAP over TLS/SSL (IMAPS).
Email applications distinguish between unencrypted and encrypted retrieval protocols by using different well-known TCP ports.
2
Map IMAPS to its standard well-known port number.
IMAPS operates on TCP port 993 by default.
Standard network conventions assign TCP port 143 to unencrypted IMAP and TCP port 993 to implicit SSL/TLS encrypted IMAPS.
