    IMAP

     

    IMAP stands for Internet Mail Access Protocol.

     

    IMAP is the protocol used for manipulating and changing the mails without actually downloading it. You can do any action you want to perform and it will hold by the mail server itself.

     

     There exist five versions of IMAP as follows:

    1. Original IMAP

    2. IMAP2

    3. IMAP3

    4. IMAP2bis

    5. IMAP4

     

     

     

    • IMAP provides the flexibility to manipulate/changing email messages without downloading it.

    • The e-mail in this case is totally hold/stored by remote server.

    • It enables us to do any action on the email like downloading deleting starring and saving to draft.

    • IMAP enables users to provide searching in emails.

    • It allows concurrent access to multiple mailboxes on multiple mail servers.
