[LUNI] what does IMAP stand for?

[Chris]

As with everything else that's popular on the internet the most accurate
source of information can be gleaned from the website that has the name of
the thing in question with a .org on the end. :) imap.org, php.org oh wait
they're selling something, mysql.org oh wait, they're selling something
too. ldap.org and pop3.org appear to have been squatted. Well so much for
my theory :)

imap.org still has alot of good information about imap, a couple of papers
advocating it over pop3, and lots of techinical links.
