IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol and is the other e-mail protocol along with POP.

E-mail clients using IMAP often leave messages on the server until the user deletes them. This allows multiple clients to manage the same mailbox - useful for support help desks for example.

IMAP is just one communications protocol on the web. Others include:

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) tcp
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) udp
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) icmp
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) http
Post Office Protocol (POP3) pop3
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) ftp
