What is IMAP4?

  • IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol. It, like POP, is a way of accessing your email on our servers. The primary advantage to IMAP is that since it maintains the original emails on the server, no matter how many different machines you login from you will have complete access to all your email.
  • It also let’s you work with an unlimited number of server-side folders, which makes IMAP a perfect companion to server-side email filtering and Spam administration
