IMAP for Beginners

Instead of POP3 you can use The Internet Mail Access Protocol (IMAP)

 IMAP allows a client (like MS Outlook Express or Thunderbird) to access and manipulate electronic mail messages on a IMAP server. That includes creating and managing Mail Folders and using Public folders. This is the "Cadillac" of mail systems.

IMAP4 includes operations for creating, deleting, and renaming mailboxes, checking for new messages, permanently removing messages, setting and clearing flags, parsing, searching, and selective fetching of message attributes, texts, and portions thereof. Messages in IMAP4 are accessed by the use of numbers. These numbers are either message sequence numbers or unique identifiers.
