From the Publisher:Virtually everything, not just computers, but all devices are coming onboard the Internet, and the two principal applications are the World-Wide Web and E-Mail. The POP3 model for online-only messaging is being taxed to its limit, and users clearly would like mail servers with more "oomph". More specifically, the demand is for E-Mail servers that take advantage of centralized resources to manage mail, rather than heap more tasks on end-user computers. This clamor has been answered by incorporating the IMAP protocol into virtually every major E-Mail server on the market. Those that don't already have IMAP are probably among those that are planning to do so. Managing IMAP is a moveable feast of IMAP help. It is a handy guide for everyday tasks common to most IMAP servers as well as a concise reference to help you navigate the sometimes sparsely and obtusely documented open-source software. Whether you want more insight into the IMAP server, client or utility software, or big-picture strategic suggestions to get off your legacy system, Managing IMAP is here to help. This book is both a conceptual and 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 to anyone considering IMAP for their messaging system. Managing IMAP covers the IMAP protocol, setting up a client, IMAP security, performance monitoring, and tools. Several chapters are devoted specifically to two of the most popular servers: the University of Washington server, and Cyrus, and detailed appendixes cover topics such as TCL, procmail, Sieve, and sendmail.
