IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol.
IMAP based email
(not yet available) can be accessed from any compatible Web browser or compatible email client.
It is a method of accessing email messages that are kept on a (possibly shared) mail server. In other words, it permits a "client" email program to access remote message stores as if they were local. For example, email stored on an IMAP server can be manipulated from a desktop computer at home, a workstation at the office, and a notebook computer while traveling, without the need to transfer messages or files back and forth between these computers.
It is this access from multiple systems that is the advantage of IMAP over a regular POP3 mailbox.

got feedback?IMAP does appear to be supported now, despite what the red text states.
Overall the DSLR Mail FAQ, with the last modifications in 2005, could stand to be updated.
