8 | AristotlePagaltzis | 3 | A modern protocol used to access MailBox~es on remote machines, designed to keep mail on the server rather than shovelling it off to the client, as [POP3] would do. This advantageous for people who move around a lot: their [Email] is all in one central location. [IMAP] version 4 is in widespread use and is specified in RFC:2060. This [RFC] was later obsoleted with version 4 revision 1, detailed in RFC:3501. |

8 | AristotlePagaltzis | 5 | If you want to access [IMAP] over a slow, laggy connection and your MailClient supports it (MozillaThunderbird does, f.ex), select all your folders for viewing offline, switch your [MUA] to offline mode, and just poll the MailServer for new mail as you need it. If your client does not have such support, you could try [offlineimap | http://gopher.quux.org:70/devel/offlineimap/]. |

8 | AristotlePagaltzis | 7 | Note that you can't ''send'' [Email] using [IMAP]. That requires [SMTP]. |
