IMAP Configuration

IMAP is a client-server approach to email in which email is kept on the server. When you work with email, your email program (the client) connects to the BUmail server to access your email. Since your email stays on the server, you can easily access it from multiple workstations and programs. Information Technology supports many clients connecting to Butler mail servers using IMAP. Some clients that use IMAP include: Windows Mail, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, and Eudora.
