+<para>The IMAP4 (rev1) protocol (Internet Message Access Protocol) allows
+access to messages in mail folders on a server. Unlike POP3, which is designed
+to download the mails and delete them from the server, the purpose of IMAP is
+to store all mails on the server to be able to access these mails from
+everywhere. Messages can be stored on the server, retrieved from there or
+moved between folders.</para>
+
+<para>This plugin is currently mainly used by KMail, but you can also use it
+in other &tde; applications that use tdeioslave plugins.</para>
+
+<para>For example in &konqueror;, type
+<userinput>imap://username@your.mail.server/</userinput> to get your IMAP
+folders listed. You can then deal with the folders and mails like with folders
+and files on a local file system.
+IMAP URLs are defined in <ulink url="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2192.txt?number=2192">RFC 2192</ulink>.
