IMAP - (Internet Message Access Protocol) - IMAP is the method used to access email remotely, usually through the use of webmail or other protocol that does not download the messages to the client machine. It allows for messages to be kept in multiple folders, supports folder sharing, and online mail handling. IMAP is a more advanced method of storing mail than POP which relies on downloading messages to a user's local drive.
