as POP (Post Office Protocol). IMAP allows the user to manipulate mail on the server as
if it existed locally.
PHP implements IMAP 4, the latest incarnation described in RFmessagesC 1730. More
information may be obtained at http://www.imap.org/, the IMAP Connection.
IMAP support may be compiled directly into PHP or loaded as an extension. The
extension has benefited from the work of many authors: Kaj-Michael Lang, Rasmus
Lerdorf, Rex Logan, Mark Musone, Antoni Pamies Olive, Zeev Suraski, and Brian
Wang.
