<section name="IMAP Thunderbird mail setup">
<p>There are two ways to access Exchange emails through DavMail Gateway: the good old
and efficient POP protocol, limited to Inbox access and the IMAP protocol that enables
full message folder tree access. IMAP support in DavMail is more recent and less optimised
than POP.
</p>
<p>This page describes IMAP setup, if you don't need multiple folders access, proceed to
<a href="thunderbirdmailsetup.html">
POP Thunderbird mail setup
</a>
instead.
</p>
<p>DavMail can be used with any IMAP/SMTP client by adjusting the following description designed for
Thunderbird. DavMail IMAP support is tested with Thunderbird, Outlook and Apple Mail.
