Port143
imapInternet Message Access Protocol
IANA has registered port 143 to imap on TCP; UDP 143 is held as reserved. The entry cites RFC 3501 and RFC 9051, as does its TLS counterpart imaps on port 993. RFC 9051 obsoleted RFC 3501, so the registry lists both the old and the new document. Its two cited RFCs are the most of any number in ports 100–199.
