Key benefits for IMAP include: 1. Be fully compatible with Internet messaging standards, e.g. MIME. 2. Allow message access and management from more than one computer. 3. Allow access without reliance on less efficient file access protocols. 4. Provide support for “online”, “offline”, and “disconnected” access modes. 5. Support for concurrent access to shared mailboxes. 6. Client software needs no knowledge about the server’s file store format.
