IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is one of the world’s most widely used communication protocols, supporting millions of users globally. It enables modern email synchronization across multiple devices in real time. IMAP stores messages on the server, allowing users to manage their emails seamlessly from anywhere. Major providers like Google, Yahoo, and Outlook use IMAP to ensure mobile-friendly and scalable email access.
• IMAP establishes a connection to the mail server when users log in.
• Username and passwords are verified, and messages are downloaded only when users access specific folders like Inbox or Outbox.
• Emails stay on the server and remain synchronized until the user deletes them.
