What exactly are the differences between the pop3 and Imap protocols?

Pine and IMAP are brainchildren of the University of Washington.  At
least, I think IMAP came from there.  So Pine works very well with
it.  Basically, put the server neme inside of braces like so:
{imap-server}/inbox
You can specify this on your primar inbox folder and for your
postponed and sent messages.  You can also set up multiple folders to
so you can break up your inbound mail and have it tossed into separate
folders for different lists or whatever.  I've done the IMAP thing for
several years now with both Pine and Mutt.  I especially like IMAP so
I can read my mail from several different boxes (both winblows and
linux) and be able to use the same mail folders with full continuity.

I think the help screens for Pine show an example of setting up for
IMAP with the braces as I showed above.

HTH.

pine to run an Imap server?  I know that it runs with the smtp for incoming.  However my incoming server is an imap server.  How
can I access it?  If pine does not support the imap incoming mail server, what other linux program does?  I appreciate your help.
