What is IMAP Email Hosting?
The Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) is one of two standard protocols used for access email messages on the internet. Both of the aforementioned email access protocols have their uses, and are available through our hosting service. Both application layer protocols maintain their own very useful features. IMAP shines by allowing the user to sync their own email client up with a Linux hosting server, rather than simply downloading and deleting the messages as is standard procedure using the alternative POP3 option. This allows the user to be able to keep record of all previous emails, both ingoing and outgoing, regardless of the location at which they login to the server. It is important to note that utilizing IMAP will enable you to retain important emails in the event your system crashes since they are stored remotely on the server.
