IMAP Mail Server Administration

The Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) allows a client to access and manage e-mail messages on a server in much the same way as they can when messages are stored in local mailboxes. IMAP also allows offline clients to synchronize with the server. Internet Express complies with IMAP4 RFC

1730 and includes the following features:

•Creating, deleting, and renaming mailboxes

•Checking for new messages and removing messages

•Setting and clearing flags

•RFC 822 andMIME parsing

•Searching

•Selective fetching of message attributes

IMAP supports online, offline, and disconnected (not offline) e-mail processing. With online e-mail processing, messages arrive at, and are stored on, the e-mail server. When e-mail clients manipulate messages, the e-mail and the client folders remain on the e-mail server. Online processing allows users to access their e-mail from more than one e-mail client. For example, a user can access e-mail from a PC in his or her office and, later, from a laptop during a meeting, or from another PC at home in the evening.

With disconnected e-mail processing, an e-mail client connects to the e-mail server, makes a copy of selected messages, and then disconnects from the e-mail server. The e-mail client can later reconnect and synchronize with the e-mail server. With disconnected processing, a message's primary copy remains on the server; with offline e-mail processing, no message copy is kept.

Disconnected e-mail processing also synchronizes message status between the server and the client's message cache when the e-mail client subsequently reconnects to the server. Disconnected processing allows users to manipulate messages and folders while completely disconnected from the e-mail server and even the network.

Online and disconnected e-mail systems complement each other, and users can alternate between them. However, because offline operation implies deletion of messages from the e-mail server after the messages are copied to the client machine's local disk, neither online nor disconnected e-mail systems are compatible with offline operation.

Although you can install both the University of Washington IMAP Server (UW-IMAP) and the Cyrus IMAP Server subsets, you can enable only one of these servers at a time because they use the same standard IMAP port number. Enabling the Cyrus IMAP Server automatically disables the UW-IMAP Server.
