IMAP

The other night, I saw this guy that I haven't seen for the longest time...

While struggling to remember his name, I kept on thought of "IMAP"....

A term I haven't came across for the longest time... so long that I have even forgotten whose abbreviation it is....

Apparently, it stands for Internal Message Access Protocol, also know as Internet Mail Access Protocol-- a protocol used for users to retrieve email messages from the mail servers....

The second day, someone called at work asking how he could download all of his emails for backup purposes...

Ended up, the specification of IMAP on the client serves the purpose...

So I thought... interesting coincidences in life...
