====== IMAP Service ======

The IMAP TCP/IP application protocol is more secure and feature-full than the old POP3 protocol built-into the [[server:mail|Synchronet Mail Server]]. The IMAP protocol (version 4) can be used for retrieving mail from a Synchronet system by using [[person:Deuce]]'s ''[[http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/exec/imapservice.js|imapservice.js]]''.

===== Configuration =====
To enable this service, add the following lines to your ''[[dir:ctrl]]/[[config:services.ini]]'' file, if they are not already in there:

  [IMAP]
  Enabled=true
  Port=143
  Command=imapservice.js
  
Or configure in the [[monitor:sbbsctrl|Synchronet Control Panel]] for Windows, like so:

{{:service:sbbsctrl.imapservice.png}}

** NOTE: **
The IMAP protocol is more complex than the POP3 protocol built-into the [[server:mail|Synchronet Mail Server]] and this service script is not as well tested. Test results or patches should be sent to [[person:Deuce]].
