What is IMAP?
Rating:
IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol. This protocol helps to retrieve e-mail messages stored on a shared e-mail server. Through this protocol, a user can use a client e-mail program/Mail User Agent (MUA) for downloading an e-mail from the shared server. A user can also use this protocol to edit or delete an e-mail from the shared e-mail server. An example of the IMAP protocol is the POP3 protocol that is quite simple and used for retrieving e-mails from a mail server.
