<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. DavMail IMAP listener has a higher memory footprint.
</p>
<p>This page describes IMAP setup, if you don't need multiple folders access, proceed to

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.

except on shared machines (e.g. Terminal server).</p>
