| | The IMAP Connection -- What is IMAP? |
 | | IMAP was originally developed in 1986 at Stanford University. | | | 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. |

| | IMAP on Linux: A Practical Guide |
| | 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. | | | The "client-server" nature of the IMAP paradigm allows e-mail programs to enjoy the same benefits of portability and network transparency that graphical programs have gained from the X11 Windowing system. | | | I except that user demand will soon force IMAP support to be a required feature on all mail clients. |

| | biovolution - iMap |
| | Because iMap 3 imports entire databases, you can query the map for data in one specific field, or in all fields of your database. | | | Database queries can be used to map only a subset of the data or to filter the data for a certain criterion. | | | One major advantage of this approach is that you can use all available information to query the map or analyze your data. |

| | RFC 3501 (rfc3501) - INTERNET MESSAGE ACCESS PROTOCOL - VERSION 4rev1 |
| | IMAP was originally developed for the older [RFC-822] standard, and as a consequence several fetch items in IMAP incorporate "RFC822" in their name. | | | An example of unilateral untagged server data occurs when the IMAP connection is in the selected state. | | | Sections 6, 7, and 9 describe the IMAP commands, responses, and syntax, respectively. |

| | The IMAP Connection -- Comparing Two Approaches to Remote Mailbox Access: IMAP vs. POP |
| | This is not an important goal for those who always use the same computer to access their email, but it is a very important one for those who use multiple computers. | | | Because there are freely available IMAP development libraries, its additional complexity over POP should not be a significant barrier to use. | | | IMAP can also support the offline paradigm, for minimum connect time and server resources. |

| | Unofficial AOL Email FAQ - Guide to AOL's IMAP & SMTP servers |
| | Despite this, you can still download IMAP mail to the local computer; the procedure is just a little different (and, in most respects, more flexible). | | | 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). | | | This is because IMAP servers don't have a way to move messages between folders -- instead they copy and delete. |

| | MacDevCenter.com: Using IMAP on Mac OS X |
| | 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. | | | Reply to a message, and all your other computers can also see that you've replied to it. | | | By keeping mail on the server, your view of your mailbox remains consistent, no matter where you travel, since all your email remains in only one place, instead of scattered across all the computers you use to read mail. |

| | Dovecot |
| | There are still some optimizations that could be done, but I believe it already beats most other IMAP servers in overall performance. | | | If it's not supported, you can still use inetd and mailfront which executes Dovecot's imap or pop3 binary. | | | This is mostly because of index files that Dovecot maintains; instead of having to scan through all the data in mailbox, Dovecot can get most of the wanted information from index with little effort. |
