Virtually everything–not just computers, but every kind of device–is comingon board the Internet, and the two principal applications are the World WideWeb and email.The POP3 model for online-only messaging is being taxed toits limit, and users clearly would like mail servers with more”oomph.”More specifically, the demand is for email servers that takeadvantage of centralized resources to manage mail, rather than heap moretasks on end-user computers.This clamor has resulted inthe IMAP protocol being incorporated into virtually every major email server onthe market. Those who haven’t already installed IMAP are probablyplanning to do so. Managing IMAP is a movable feast of IMAP help.It is a handy guidefor everyday tasks common to most IMAP servers as well as a concisereference to help navigate the sometimes sparsely and obtuselydocumented open source software.Whether the goal is more insight into theIMAP server and client or utility software, or big-picture strategicsuggestions to get off a legacy system, Managing IMAP is here tohelp. This book is both a conceptual and a mechanical IMAP road map.Managers,system integrators, and system administrators on the front lines of Internet messaging will find it a valuable tool for IMAP system provision,maintenance and support. It is also useful if you’re considering IMAP foryour messaging system. Managing IMAP covers the IMAP protocol,setting upa client, IMAP security, performance monitoring, and tools.
