IMAP4 Connection

Internet message access protocol (IMAP) is one of the two most prevalent Internet standard protocols for e-mail retrieval, the other being the Post Office Protocol (POP). Virtually all modern e-mail clients and mail servers support both protocols as a means of transferring e-mail messages from a server.

To setup email access using IMAP as the protocol follow these steps:

• In the Name Text Box type in a new name for the IMAP4 connection you are about to create
• Fill in host name
• Select TCP/IP port (default is 143)
• Type in user name and password
• Select folder
• Click OK to close the IMAP4 connection properties window
