Software distributed by the UW under an open-source license

While still available, the UW is no longer actively developing IMAP.
The IMAP - UW Software Toolkit includes the following:
c-client library: an API (application programming interface) used to build email clients and servers, including support for IMAP, POP3, SMTP and NNTP protocols, and for local mailbox file access on Unix and Windows
UW's POP2 (ipop2d), POP3 (ipop3d), and IMAP4rev1 (imapd) servers
mailutil: a utility program that helps manage email mailboxes (both local and IMAP/POP3/NNTP)
dmail: an MDA (Mail Delivery Agent) for use with procmail
tmail: an MDA for use with the system mailer (e.g., sendmail, postfix, etc.)
The IMAP - UW Software Toolkit is provided as open-source software. The UW is not able to provide detailed support for this software and is no longer actively developing it. However, there is an active community of users who have mailing lists and support each other.
Support Information:
The following mailing lists discuss IMAP and the use of the IMAP - UW Software Toolkit:
