IMAP Protocol

The message below was delivered to all PCUG members by Peter Watney (President)

Subject: [PCUG-members] Announcement of a new TIP service: IMAP
From: Peter Watney president[at]pcug[dot]org[dot]au
Date: Sun, 17 Jun 2007

The Internet Project wishes to announce a new service for its members.

Members can now use the IMAP protocol to read their mail as an alternative to the POP-3 protocol or our webmail system.

IMAP has a number of advantages over POP, such as being able to store your mail on the server (and in different folders), reading your mail
from multiple locations while keeping your mail synchronised and, most importantly, being able to access your mail without realising, "That
message was downloaded to my home PC!".

You can find out more about IMAP at the following help page, including instructions on configuring your mail client:

http://www.tip.net.au/imap.html

Trevor recommends printing out that help page, so that you don't need to connect to the net to find out how to connect to the net...
