What is IMAP4 Protocol?

The “What is IMAP4 Protocol?” kit  covers several axes related to the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP4), which is a protocol for accessing email messages. It is a computer process that connects two devices over a network to exchange messages.

IMAP4 is a program used to retrieve incoming email, It stores email messages on a server that is remote from users and then allows them to view and process messages as if they were stored on their personal device.

IMAP4 allows users to organize email messages into folders, flag messages for follow-up, and save message drafts on the server, Users can also take advantage of the features of this protocol to show messages that have been read or unread.

IMAP4 acts as an intermediary between the mail server and email users. It allows users to read messages on the server without downloading or storing them on their personal devices, This means that email is not tied to a specific device, and users can access it from anywhere in the world using various devices such as desktops, laptops, smartphones, and tablets.
