What is IMAP: IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is a protocol used for retrieving email messages from a mail server. Unlike the more common POP (Post Office Protocol) protocol, IMAP allows users to store messages on the server and access them from multiple devices. This means that messages, folders, and other email data are stored on the server, and can be accessed from any device with an internet connection and an IMAP-compatible email client.
