The IMAP Working Group used RFC1176 ( IMAP2 ) rather than RFC1203 ( IMAP3 ) as its starting point.

An internet draft of IMAP2bis was published by the IETF IMAP Working Group in October 1993.

This is remedied by a set of extensions defined by the IETF LEMONADE Working Group for mobile devices: URLAUTH ( RFC 4467 ) and CATENATE ( RFC 4469 ) in IMAP and BURL ( RFC 4468 ) in SMTP-SUBMISSION.

However, push IMAP has not been generally accepted and current IETF work has addressed the problem in other ways ( see the Lemonade Profile for more information ).

IMAP over SSL ( IMAPS ) is assigned well-known port number 993.

Internet message access protocol ( IMAP ) is one of the two most prevalent Internet standard protocols for e-mail retrieval, the other being the Post Office Protocol ( POP ).

Some clients and servers preferentially use vendor-specific, proprietary protocols, but most support the Internet standard protocols, SMTP for sending e-mail and POP and IMAP for retrieving e-mail, allowing interoperability with other servers and clients.

IMAP was designed by Mark Crispin in 1986 as a remote mailbox protocol, in contrast to the widely used POP, a protocol for retrieving the contents of a mailbox.

In contrast, the IMAP protocol specifically allows simultaneous access by multiple clients and provides mechanisms for clients to detect changes made to the mailbox by other, concurrently connected, clients.

The IMAP specification has been criticised for being insufficiently strict and allowing behaviours that effectively negate its usefulness.

Unlike some proprietary protocols which combine sending and retrieval operations, sending a message and saving a copy in a server-side folder with a base-level IMAP client requires transmitting the message content twice, once to SMTP for delivery and a second time to IMAP to store in a sent mail folder.

The most widely implemented open protocols for the MUA are the Post Office Protocol ( POP3 ) and the Internet Message Access Protocol ( IMAP ), but many proprietary systems exist ( Exchange, Lotus Domino / Notes ) for retrieving messages.

In contrast, an MUA using IMAP displays messages directly from the server, although a download option for archive purposes is usually also available.

POP and IMAP ( Internet Message Access Protocol ) are the two most prevalent Internet standard protocols for e-mail retrieval.

This " POP4 " proposal added basic folder management, multipart message support, as well as message flag management, allowing for a light protocol which supports some popular IMAP features which POP3 currently lacks.

Fetchmail is an open source software utility for POSIX-compliant operating systems which is used to retrieve e-mail from a remote POP3, IMAP, ETRN or ODMR mail server to the user's local system.

IMAP features an idle extension for real time updates, providing faster notification than polling, where long lasting connections are feasible.

A reader server is one that makes the articles available in the hierarchical disk directory format originated by B News 2. 10, or offers the NNTP or IMAP commands, for use by newsreaders.

Bernstein proposed Internet Mail 2000, an alternative system for electronic mail, intended to replace Simple Mail Transfer Protocol ( SMTP ), Post Office Protocol ( POP3 ) and Internet Message Access Protocol ( IMAP ).

* MIX ( Email ), a high performance email storage system for use with IMAP

Mail 5 features a redesigned iPad-like fullscreen user interface, a changed message search interface, support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 and IMAP Yahoo!

Support for Exchange push email was dropped ; IMAP is now required for push email.

The IMAP WG decided to rename IMAP2bis to IMAP4 to avoid confusion with a competing IMAP3 proposal from another group that never got off the ground.

The Internet Message Access Protocol ( commonly known as IMAP ) is an Application Layer Internet protocol that allows an e-mail client to access e-mail on a remote mail server.

The current version, IMAP version 4 revision 1 ( IMAP4rev1 ), is defined by RFC 3501.

An IMAP server typically listens on well-known port 143.

IMAP supports both on-line and off-line modes of operation.

E-mail clients using IMAP generally leave messages on the server until the user explicitly deletes them.

This and other characteristics of IMAP operation allow multiple clients to manage the same mailbox.

Most e-mail clients support IMAP in addition to POP to retrieve messages ; however, fewer e-mail services support IMAP.

IMAP offers access to the mail storage.

For example, Microsoft's Outlook client uses a proprietary protocol to communicate with a Microsoft Exchange Server server as does IBM's Notes client when communicating with a Domino server, but all of these products also support POP, IMAP, and outgoing SMTP.

IMAP was previously known as Internet Mail Access Protocol, Interactive Mail Access Protocol ( RFC 1064 ), and Interim Mail Access Protocol.

Although some of its commands and responses were similar to IMAP2, the interim protocol lacked command / response tagging and thus its syntax was incompatible with all other versions of IMAP.

IMAP3 is an extinct and extremely rare variant of IMAP.

Keywords, which are not supported by all IMAP servers, allow messages to be given one or more tags whose meaning is up to the client.

While IMAP remedies many of the shortcomings of POP, this inherently introduces additional complexity.

IMAP4 clients need to maintain a TCP / IP connection to the IMAP server in order to be notified of the arrival of new mail.

The IUPAC / IUPAP Transfermium Working Group report in 1992 officially recognised the GSI team as discoverers of bohrium.

BCI would cooperate with the Unicode Technical Committee ( UTC ) and the ISO Working Group.

Santer was the convening Lead Author of Chapter 8 of 1995 IPCC Working Group I Report ( AR2 WGI ), which addressed the global warming issue.

In 2010, the Environmental Working Group studied the drinking water in 35 American cities.

The three main subsidiary bodies-the Working Group on Effects, the Steering Body to EMEP and the Working Group on Strategies and Review-as well as the Convention's Implementation Committee, report to the Executive Body each year.

In 1992 the IUPAC / IUPAP Transfermium Working Group assessed the claims of the two groups and concluded that confidence in the discovery grew from results from both laboratories and the claim of discovery should be shared.

The Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia includes objects up to 25 Jupiter masses, saying, " The fact that there is no special feature around 13 MJup in the observed mass spectrum reinforces the choice to forget this mass limit ," and the Exoplanet Data Explorer includes objects up to 24 Jupiter masses with the advisory: " The 13 Jupiter-mass distinction by the IAU Working Group is physically unmotivated for planets with rocky cores, and observationally problematic due to the sin i ambiguity.

After the HTML and HTML + drafts expired in early 1994, the IETF created an HTML Working Group, which in 1995 completed " HTML 2. 0 ", the first HTML specification intended to be treated as a standard against which future implementations should be based.

In 2004 development began on HTML5 in the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group ( WHATWG ), which became a joint deliverable with the W3C in 2008.

It was the first version developed and standardized exclusively by the W3C, as the IETF had closed its HTML Working Group in September 1996.

Development of the parallel, XML-based language XHTML occupied the W3C's HTML Working Group through the early and mid-2000s.

; June 1993: Hypertext Markup Language was published by the IETF IIIR Working Group as an Internet-Draft ( a rough proposal for a standard ).

; May 2011: On 14 February 2011, the W3C extended the charter of its HTML Working Group with clear milestones for HTML5.
