| 9 | 9 | Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) is a system by which your e-mail is kept on the server and can be accessed from any machine on the network. When you want to view, send or manage your messages, your e-mail program (client) connects to the CAL central e-mail server for access. Because your e-mail always remains on the server, you can easily retrieve it from virtually any location with Internet access. IMAP is useful if you travel frequently, access your e-mail at multiple locations, and/or use web mail as your main mail client. |
