Mail server. It is built around the idea that you do not pull down all the mail to your system but keep it on the mail server. In that way you can read mail from several locations without logging in to various machines. It is also built with slow links in mind. So an IMAP connection is very useable on a 28k8 modem if you decide to just quickly browse the subjects. Sorting and deleting is all done on the server not on the client.
