NAME
     IMAPd - Internet Message Access Protocol server

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/local/libexec/imapd

DESCRIPTION
     imapd  is a server which supports the IMAP4rev1 remote mail access protocol
     as documented in RFC-3501.  imapd is invoked by the  internet  server  (see
     inetd(8)),  normally  for requests to connect to the IMAP port as indicated
     by the /etc/services file (see services(5)).  Normally, this  is  port  143
     for plaintext IMAP and 993 for SSL IMAP.

     This daemons contains CRAM-MD5 support.  See the md5.txt documentation file
     for additional information.

     imapd  can  also  be accessed via rsh(1) by many Unix-based clients.  To do
     this, the imapd binary must have a link to /etc/rimapd since this is  where
     this software expects it to be located.
