IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) allows access to emails stored on a remote mail server in the following ways:
1. User Authentication: The user provides login credentials to the mail server to authenticate themselves.
1. Synchronization: The mail client synchronizes with the server to retrieve the content of the mailbox.
1. Mailbox Access: The client can access multiple mailboxes on the server, and user can check their mailbox from multiple devices.
1. Mailbox Management: IMAP allows mailbox management actions like deleting, marking read/unread, creating new folders, etc. directly on the server.
By combining these mechanisms and protocols, IMAP enables the remote access of emails, ensuring that messages are available to the user regardless of the device or location used to access them.
