Protocols
Note that all these protocols can be layered atop TLS
POP3 - port 110 ; STARTTLS can be on this port, or on 995 (POP3S)
IMAP - port 143
IMAPS (IMAP over SSL) - port 993
SMTP - port 25; client SW typically use 587 (plaintext) or 465 (TLS)
ESMTP servers can use TLS; avoid MITM attacks by DANE (part of DNSSEC)
SMTP-Strict Transport Security (relies on CAs).
