Instructions
• The IMAP Connector implements an IMAP transport channel that enables your Mule application to retrieve email from an IMAP email server
• IMAP is similar to POP3, except IMAP supports both online and offline modes
• Like POP3, IMAP cannot send email; for that, you must use an SMTP outbound endpoint

Instructions
• For a secure transport channel (either TLS or SSL), you can specify the IMAPS protocol

Configuring
• Place your IMAP endpoint at the head of the sequence of building blocks that make up your Mule flow.
