What is IMAP?

IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is the standard protocol for accessing and managing emails stored on a mail server. Unlike POP3, IMAP keeps emails on the server, allowing you to access them from multiple devices while maintaining synchronization.

Multi-Device Access

Access emails from phone, tablet, and computer with perfect synchronization

Server-Side Storage

Emails remain on the server, providing backup and centralized management

Folder Management

Organize emails in folders that sync across all your devices

Why Test IMAP Settings?

Connection Issues

Verify that your email client can connect to the IMAP server with the correct hostname, port, and security settings.

Authentication Problems

Test login credentials and identify authentication methods supported by your email provider.

Mailbox Access

Ensure you can access your mailboxes and folders, and verify folder structure and permissions.
