IMAP is a mail protocol for accessing e-mail stored on a server. Most popular e-mail clients, such as Outlook or Outlook Express, are capable of communicating with an IMAP server, such as Softalk Mail Server. The fundamental difference between accessing e-mail via IMAP and accessing e-mail via POP3 is that IMAP, unlike POP3, does not download the messages and store them locally.
