Each user can quickly identify which messages need attention, and which have been dealt with. IMAP also allows multiple users access to shared mailboxes. Because your email is stored on a mail server it’s considered safer and is backed up regularly by your Internet service provider (ISP). When you read email on your laptop, it will automatically be marked as “read” on your other devices- helping you keep organized, prioritized and productive. So whether you’re on your laptop at home, your desktop at work, or using a tablet to catch up on communication while travelling, you have access to all of your mail on the mail server. IMAP thus allows the user the freedom to check their email from a variety of devices.
The email remains on the server until the user deletes it. With an IMAP protocol, email messages are stored on a remote email server. On the surface they are similar, but each offers distinct features. I have been testing this for 2 days with the helpdesk of Microsoft.Įxchange and IMAP are the same in that they both synchronize email from multiple devices, like tablets, computers and smartphones. You really need your mail account running on a Windows exchange server to be able to install the Hubspot sales add-in.
Unfortunately installing the HubSpot Sales add-in is not possible when working on an IMAP mail server.
