IMAP

Short for Internet Message Access Protocol, IMAP was developed at Stanford University in 1986 and is a protocol that allows users to retrieve e-mail but still uses SMTP for sending e-mail messages. IMAP4 is the latest version of IMAP that is similar to POP3; however, supports additional features not found in POP3.
  • See document CH000460 for additional information and help with not being able to send or receive e-mail.
