IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is an Internet standards-track
|
|
protocol for accessing messages (mail, bboards, news, etc). The Cyrus
|
|
IMAP server differs from other IMAP server implementations in that it
|
|
is generally intended to be run on "sealed" servers, where normal users
|
|
are not permitted to log in. The mailbox database is stored in parts of
|
|
the filesystem that are private to the Cyrus IMAP system. All user
|
|
access to mail is through the IMAP, POP3, or KPOP protocols.
|
|
|
|
From version 3 on, the Cyrus IMAP server also offers the option of
|
|
serving calendars and address books via a CalDAV / CardDAV interface.
|
|
The information is stored in special directories in the same location
|
|
that is used for the emails. This makes Cyrus IMAP a self-contained
|
|
groupware server.
