IMAP Service Available But NOT Supported
Haverford currently supports the Post Office Protocol (POP) for
accessing email from desktop mail clients such as Eudora, Thunderbird
and Outlook. However, we plan to support another protocol, the Internet
Message Access Protocol (IMAP), in the future. A specific time table is
not yet available.
This summer (2008), College Information Resources is expanding its
internal testing of IMAP. Thus, Haverford email users will have
the technical ability to access mail via IMAP. However, until our
testing is complete, we will not provide instructions for configuring
email clients to work with IMAP, nor will we help you troubleshoot any
problems you may experience using this protocol. During this test period
there may be interruptions in our IMAP service without public notice.
As our testing progresses, we will provide additional information about
IMAP and IMAP support.
