IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol)

IMAP, which stands for Internet Message Access Protocol, is an application-layer protocol used to access email on a remote server from a local client. IMAP is particularly useful for managing email messages without downloading them to your phone or computer, allowing you to view emails through a client interface while the actual data remains stored on the server.
