IMAP

Definition by BestHost Ratings

Internet Message Access Protocol. A way of accessing your email directly on the server. It differs from POP the way it reads messages on the server. While POP downloads the messages to your computer and deletes them from the server, with IMAP you can have your messages on the server, even organized in folders. IMAP is useful when you you use to read your email at several computers.
