IMail Web Client lets users send and receive mail using a web browser. Users can log on to IMail Web Client from a browser on any computer with a supported browser and manage e-mail without installing e-mail client software.
IMail Web Client directly accesses the server to manage mail, and no longer requires IMAP. After logging in, users can manage e-mail from the browser, organize e-mail into folders (mailboxes), maintain an address book (contacts) and auto-synchronize it with Microsoft Outlook contacts (if the IMail Collaboration Client has been installed), and set delivery rules for incoming mail.
When a user creates a mailbox in IMail Web Client, the mailbox is created on the mail server and mail folders and messages reside on the server.
