POP3, IMAP, and MAPI are standards or protocols for Internet mailboxes. Most ISP email accounts utilise the POP3 standard while some ISP’s now use the newer IMAP protocol. Corporate servers, such as Microsoft Exchange®, use a more robust protocol called MAPI. By using these common standards, ISP’s and solutions providers allow users to access their email accounts using programs such as VersaMail® application, Outlook® Mobile, Eudora Pro, Netscape Messenger, Visto, GoodLink™, or Outlook®.
