.SH NAME
IMAPd \- Interactive Mail Access Protocol server
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B /usr/etc/imapd
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I IMAPd
is a server which supports the
.B IMAP
remote mail access protocol as documented in RFC-1176.
.I IMAPd
has also been extended to support the Borenstein/Freed
.I Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME)
proposed stanard extensions to electronic mail.
.I IMAPd
is invoked by the internet server (see
.IR inetd (8)),
normally for requests to connect to the
.B IMAP
port as indicated by the
.I /etc/services
file (see
.IR services (5)).
.PP
.I IMAPd
can also be accessed via
.IR rsh (1C)
by many Unix-based clients.  To do this, the
.I IMAPd
binary must have a link to
.I /etc/rimapd
since this is where this software expects it to be located.

rsh(1C) ipopd(8C)
.SH BUGS
The MIME draft is a Proposed Standard and may be subject to change in the
future.  This may require changes to
.I IMAPd
when this happens.
