This is a provider for the Internet Message Access Protocol, version 4rev1 (IMAP4rev1), as detailed in RFC 3501.

This provider supports the CRAM-MD5 authentication mechanism specified by RFC 2195, and transport layer security (TLS), as described in RFC 2595.

The GNU IMAP Store operates over a single socket connection to the server. It does not use a pool of connections.

This provider supports the following properties:
