imapd -- Internet Message Access Protocol server

Synopsis

/usr/etc/imapd

Description

imapd is a server which supports the IMAP4 remote mail access protocol as documented in RFC-1730. It is normally invoked by the Internet server (see the inetd(1Mtcp) manual page), for requests to connect to the IMAP4 port as indicated by the /etc/services file (see the services(4tcp) manual page). Normally, this is port 143.

imapd can also be accessed via rsh(1tcp) by many UNIX-based clients. To do this, the imapd binary must have a link to /etc/rimapd since this is where this software expects it to be located.
