	Internet Message Access Protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		IMAP and POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3) are the two most prevalent Internet standard protocols for email retrieval.
		IMAP was designed by Mark Crispin in 1986 [1] as a modern alternative to the widely used POP email retrieval protocol.
		IMAP allows users to access new messages instantly on their computers, since the mail is stored on the network.

		Unlike POP, IMAP includes functionality for remotely managing messages as well as mailboxes.
		IMAP has commands that allow clients to create, rename and delete folders on the mail server, as well as commands for moving messages to and from such folders.
		For example, IMAP servers keep track of which messages have or have not been read (such states are called "flags" in IMAP).

		The Cyrus IMAP server differs from other IMAP server implementations in that it is generally intended to be run on sealed servers, where normal users are not permitted to log in.
		During an audit of imapd several vulnerabilities were discovered ranging from a standard stack overflow, over out of bounds heap corruptions, to a bug caused by the use of programming constructs that are undefined according to the C standard.
		When the Cyrus IMAP code adds new entries to this array this is done with the help of the postfix increment operator in combination with memory allocation functions.

	IMAP on Linux: A Practical Guide (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Unless you use IMAP already, these mail folders are sitting on your local disk (or in your home directory on a remote account).
		IMAP offers the same kind of flexibility: your e-mail folders (that is, all the data you really care about) are stored on a central server, so that instead of being inextricably bound to one mail program on one machine, they can be transparently accessed over the network by any compliant program.
		This step is highly recommended, as the University of Washington IMAP server has had some fairly serious security vulnerabilities in the past.

	The IMAP Connection -- (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		For example, email stored on an IMAP server can be manipulated from a desktop computer at home, a workstation at the office, and a notebook computer while traveling, without the need to transfer messages or files back and forth between these computers.
		This mode of access is not compatible with access from multiple computers since it tends to sprinkle messages across all of the computers used for mail access.
		Thus, unless all of those machines share a common file system, the offline mode of access that POP was designed to support effectively ties the user to one computer for message storage and manipulation.

	PHP: imap_open - Manual
		Our IMAP servers won't allow a user other than the user specified in the kerberos credentials connect using those credentials unless you specify that extra "user=" in the connection string.
		For all imap functions where you specify the mailbox string it is important that you ALWAYS use IP (not hostname) and the portnumber.
		Connections to the IMAP server work without specifying the port number, but they are slow, so specifying the port number is important if you don't want a slow application.

	The IMAP Connection -- Comparing Two Approaches to Remote Mailbox Access: IMAP vs. POP
		IMAP can also do offline processing, but its special strength is in online and disconnected operation.
		Depending on the IMAP client implementation and the mail architecture desired by the system manager, the user may save messages directly on the client machine, or save them on the server, or be given the choice of doing either.
		A current list of IMAP products may be found at http://www.imap.org/products/, and a listing of documents relevant to IMAP at http://www.imap.org/papers/biblio.html.

	MacDevCenter.com: Using IMAP on Mac OS X
		IMAP contains many commands for organizing all this server-side mail, including creating and editing mailboxes and folders (see the section called "Organizing Mailboxes"), and variously flagging individual messages (see the section called "Organizing Messages").
		When it checks for new mail, an IMAP client can request only the new messages' headers and bodies, and not immediately grab any large attached files, leaving their download up to the user's discretion.
		You can, if you wish, use IMAP in the same download-and-delete style as POP, and thus browse your mail while offline; the commands for this are all in the protocol.

	IMAP Spam Begone
		Each IMAP implementation names their folders differently, and most IMAP clients manage to hide most of this from you.
		IMAP assigns each message in a folder a unique id. isbg scans the folder for messages it hasn't seen before, and for each one, downloads the message and feeds it to SpamAssassin.
		IMAP clients explicitly set Seen when a message is being read.

		iMap 3 is a data visualisation tool designed to map large amounts of latitude/longitude data (or US ZIPcodes).
		iMap 3 introduces a new file format: maps, calibration data and records are now saved into one convenient.imap file.
		Because iMap 3 imports entire databases, you can query the map for data in one specific field, or in all fields of your database.

	The IMAP Connection -- What is IMAP?
		The protocol includes operations for creating, deleting, and renaming mailboxes; checking for new messages; permanently removing messages; setting and clearing flags; server-based RFC-2822 and MIME parsing (so clients don't need to), and searching; and selective fetching of message attributes, texts, and portions thereof for efficiency.

	Unofficial AOL Email FAQ - Guide to AOL's IMAP & SMTP servers
		If your IMAP email client is configured to display deleted messages, it will also show messages that AOL classifies as "Recently Deleted." These linger for roughly 24 hours before being permanently deleted.
		Some IMAP email clients ask you whether to store sent mail locally (on your computer) or on the IMAP server, but AOL doesn't give you that choice (or need it).
		IMAP access to the AOL mail system does not allow for special AOL-only features, such as AOL Return Receipts and checking a message's Status.

		These refer to aspects of the specification which are not strictly part of the IMAP protocol, but reflect generally-accepted practice.
		IMAP was originally developed for the older [RFC-822] standard, and as a consequence several fetch items in IMAP incorporate "RFC822" in their name.

	Courier-IMAP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Technically, IMAP servers must support the UTF-8 character set, however few IMAP clients (I've yet to see one, actually) care about UTF-8, so the UTF-8 character set is optional in Courier-IMAP.
		Normally, the IMAP protocol provides only access to mail in an existing mail account, and mail clients must use SMTP in order to send mail.
		It is theoretically possible to code an IMAP mail client that reads this capability and automatically configures itself accordingly -- when this IMAP capability is present -- to send E-mail in the normal way but using the IMAP connection.

		Dovecot is an open source IMAP and POP3 server for Linux/UNIX-like systems, written with security primarily in mind.
		Dovecot can work with standard mbox and maildir formats and it's fully compatible with UW-IMAP and Courier IMAP servers' implementation of them as well as mail clients accessing the mailboxes directly.
		There are still some optimizations that could be done, but I believe it already beats most other IMAP servers in overall performance.
