NAME

       IMAPd - Interactive Mail Access Protocol server

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/etc/imapd

DESCRIPTION

       IMAPd  is  a  server  which  supports the IMAP remote mail
       access protocol as documented in RFC-1176.  IMAPd has also
       been extended to support the Borenstein/Freed Multipurpose
       Internet Mail Extensions (MIME)  proposed  stanard  exten-
       sions  to electronic mail.  IMAPd is invoked by the inter-
       net server (see inetd(8)), normally for requests  to  con-
       nect  to  the  IMAP port as indicated by the /etc/services
       file (see services(5)).

       IMAPd can also be accessed via rsh(1C) 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.

BUGS

       The  MIME  draft is a Proposed Standard and may be subject
       to change in the future.   This  may  require  changes  to
       IMAPd when this happens.
