Imba mail
You're referring to IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) email!
IMAP is a popular email protocol that allows you to access and manage your email messages on multiple devices, such as your computer, phone, or tablet. Here's a brief overview:
What is IMAP?
IMAP is a protocol that enables you to access your email messages on a remote email server, rather than downloading them to your device. This means you can access your email from anywhere, at any time, as long as you have an internet connection.
How does IMAP work?
When you set up an IMAP account, your email client (e.g., Outlook, Apple Mail, or Mozilla Thunderbird) connects to your email server using the IMAP protocol. Your email client then retrieves a list of your email messages from the server, and you can view, read, and manage them on your device.
Benefits of IMAP
- Access your email from anywhere: With IMAP, you can access your email from any device with an internet connection, as long as you have your email account credentials.
- Sync your email across devices: IMAP allows you to synchronize your email messages across multiple devices, so you can access the same email messages on your computer, phone, or tablet.
- Keep your email organized: IMAP allows you to manage your email messages on the server, so you can keep your email organized and up-to-date across all your devices.
Common IMAP settings
To set up an IMAP account, you'll need to know the following settings:
- Server address: The address of your email server (e.g., imap.gmail.com or imap.outlook.com).
- Port number: The port number used for IMAP connections (e.g., 993 or 143).
- Username: Your email address or username.
- Password: Your email account password.
