Does PowWeb support IMAP?

Karl Fry,

PowWeb's mailservers do support IMAP protocol.  IMAP allows you to 
check your mail directly on the server, without downloading it to your 
computer as POP protocol does.
You can either use IMAP in an email client like Outlook, or you can 
use PowWeb's web-based email (which functions off of IMAP protocol) at 
http://webmail.yourdomain.com - provided that your DNS is hosted with 
PowWeb.
Note: Make sure to delete messages from your Inbox and issue a "Purge" 
command within your email client regularly when using IMAP protocol, 
or your inbox space will quickly reach maximum and begin bouncing 
mail.  If you need to keep a persistent copy of all your mail, we 
recommend downloading your mail to your computer via POP protocol - 
this way you can keep as much of your old mail as you like, with your 
hard drive space being the only limitation.
