What is an IMAP server?
A. That stands for ” I nternet M essage A ccess P rotocol “. Using IMAP allows you to manage folders on the mail server similar to a webmail program, yet you can use an standalone mail client. Eudora, Outlook Express, Outlook (newer versions), Netscape/Mozille and Thunderbird are among the mail programs that allow you to use IMAP.
IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) allows users further access to their mail through the use of mail folders, so as you store your mail in folders with your current mail client, you can store your mail folders on your mail server instead of only on your client. This facility greatly improves on POP.
