IMAP thus allows the user the freedom to check their email from a variety of devices. The email remains on the server until the user deletes it. With an IMAP protocol, email messages are stored on a remote email server. On the surface they are similar, but each offers distinct features. I have been testing this for 2 days with the helpdesk of Microsoft.Įxchange and IMAP are the same in that they both synchronize email from multiple devices, like tablets, computers and smartphones. You really need your mail account running on a Windows exchange server to be able to install the Hubspot sales add-in. Unfortunately installing the HubSpot Sales add-in is not possible when working on an IMAP mail server.
