What is IMAP?

Today, at Seattle Executives Association meeting, Mayumi Nakamura introduced the new email service called IMAP by PSPINC. I would like to take a moment to confuse you little more with this posting.

IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is the way for you to share one mailbox with multiple devices such as PC, Cellular Phone and Tablet like iPad. Instead of downloading your email to the device, emails stay at the IMAP server and you just use you device to read, reply, store delete, write email. When you delete an email, you are deleting it from the server. When you write an email, you send email from the server and store it on SENT folder on the server. So no matter which device you use to access your email, it is all synched and up to date.

It take a lot more storage and CPU power on the server. This is what we are going to release as a new product this quarter.
