	What is IMAP? - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: Internet Message Access Protocol
		IMAP (the latest version is IMAP Version 4) is a client/server protocol in which e-mail is received and held for you by your Internet server.
		IMAP requires continual access to the server during the time that you are working with your mail.
		POP3 and IMAP deal with the receiving of e-mail from your local server and are not to be confused with Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), a protocol used for exchanging e-mail between points on the Internet.

	Internet Message Access Protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Internet Message Access Protocol (commonly known as IMAP, and previously called Internet Mail Access Protocol) is an application layer Internet protocol used for accessing e-mail on a remote server from a local client.
		IMAP was designed by Mark Crispin in 1986 [1] as a modern alternative to the widely used POP e-mail retrieval protocol.
		MIME allows messages to have a tree structure where the leaf nodes are any of a variety of single part content types and the non-leaf nodes are any of a variety of multipart types.

	The IMAP Connection -- What is IMAP?
		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.
		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.

	RFC 2060 (rfc2060) - Internet Message Access Protocol - Version 4rev1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		As each new message is added, it is assigned a message sequence number that is 1 higher than the number of messages in the mailbox before that new message was added.
		Message Texts In addition to being able to fetch the full [RFC-822] text of a message, IMAP4rev1 permits the fetching of portions of the full message text.
		It is a protocol error for the client to attempt a command while the command is in an inappropriate state.

	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.

	IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) (Linktionary term)
		IMAP is an Internet protocol that allows a client to manipulate electronic mail messages that are stored on a mail server.
		It is defined in RFC 2060 (Internet Message Access Protocol, Version 4rev1, December 1996).
		This is especially useful for mobile users who access mail at different computers, or with a palm device that doesn't have enough memory to hold mail that users might want to save for later reading or permanently archive in their desktop mail program.

	Email Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) - Email Clients
		The Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) is a less common but more richly featured email protocol than POP3.
		IMAP is a more modern protocol than POP3, first developed at Stanford University in 1986.
		The IMAP features can be useful in several situations, for example when you are traveling and don't want to download your email onto a laptop because then you won't have them on your home computer when you get back.

	Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1
		This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
		It is a generic, stateless, protocol which can be used for many tasks beyond its use for hypertext, such as name servers and distributed object management systems, through extension of its request methods, error codes and headers [47].
		This specification defines the protocol referred to as "HTTP/1.1", and is an update to RFC 2068 [33].

	Internet Message Access Protocol (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		What makes IMAP4 different from previous mail-access protocols like Post Office Protocol (POP) is that it allows users to access and manipulate messages on their mail server in the same way they access them locally.
		IMAP is all well and good for people who bounce around on different machines, but what of the increasing number of people who log in from different places using a single laptop?
		IMAP also allows them to download messages to their machines, which means they can still access their email when they're not connected to the server.

		Message threading refers to the ability of a conference message reader or Usenet news reader to automate a user's ability to follow a thread.
		That is, to read all the messages in a particular conversation in the sequence in which they were posted, rather than a chronological sequence of individual messages pertaining to many conversations posted to the conference or newsgroup.

	Internationalization in the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP4rev1)
		The Internet Message Access Protocol, Version 4rev1 (IMAP4rev1) is an Internet Proposed Standard (RFC 2060) which allows a client to access and manipulate electronic mail messages on a server.
		IMAP mailbox names are represented as astrings; that is, as an unquoted atom or a quoted string, and are effectively restricted to 7-bit ASCII.
		However, some messages may contain "must read" information, and ideally should be presented in the user's native language (or at least in "computerese" that looks like the user's native language).
