IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol)
Unlike a POP3 server, an IMAP mail server stores the messages and allows
you to access them from it. They are only downloaded to your client host as
needed. This offers a number of advantages. One of them is that the same
messages are available from several client hosts (your machine at work and
your laptop used on the road, for example). Another one is that mailboxes
can be shared among different users. For a more detailed explanation of the
protocol, see

dIMAP (Disconnected IMAP)
dIMAP offers the same possibilities as IMAP
with the additional advantage that messages can be edited offline. This
is a big advantage for those situations where a permanent connection to
the server is not available as when using a laptop. With dIMAP, messages
edited offline are synched with the server as soon as the connection is
reestablished.
