What is IMAP?
The people who travel a lot and willing to
access their mail in the way from their home based desktop use IMAP technology.
IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol that provides the facility to
send or receive mail via a central server from their desktop onto their
personnel device like laptop, PDAs and mobile phones without having another
accessories or devices. Besides this the user don't need to worry about the user
space, because it saves the data directly on the central server.
Another benefits of Web-based IMAP is that it is also responsible for the
bandwidth and other costs related services to access email function. Sometimes
it free of cost but many times the user have to pay some reasonable fees. Many
popular websites provide IMAP-based-email services after getting membership of
their websites. Some of them are Yahoo, Google and Microsoft.
