IMAP

Up to Glossary

The Internet Message Access Protocol, or IMAP, is a type of email service in which messages are stored on a server and remotely accessed by a client. This is in contrast to POP, in which messages are downloaded from a server to the local machine, and accessed on the local machine once downloaded.
