| 604779 | 2007-10-24 06:21:00 | A PC running Microsoft Windows Vista and Outlook 2007. Correct they do too, although supported by Microsoft, IMAP has not been the first choice of protocols for Outlook mail exchange servers used by IT depts until now. The change is being bought on by another device. |

| 604780 | 2007-10-24 06:37:00 | Uhh...to start with I could've sworn it was actually a map of kind. So basically all it is is a program that lets you access your emails offline? (No I didn't bother reading all of it) | --Wolf-- (128) | ||
| 604781 | 2007-10-24 06:40:00 | IMAP IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol. It is a method of accessing electronic mail or bulletin board messages that are kept on a (possibly shared) mail server. In other words, it permits a "client" email program to access remote message stores as if they were local. For example, email stored on an IMAP server can be manipulated from a desktop computer at home, a workstation at the office, and a notebook computer while traveling, without the need to transfer messages or files back and forth between these computers. http://www.imap.org/ |

| 604783 | 2007-10-24 07:00:00 | As I mentioned earlier, although supported by MS Exchange Servers it is not used by IT types on MS Exchange Servers... until now. ;) | winmacguy (3367) | ||
