- No. IMSP (Interactive Mail Support Protocol) is a support protocol for IMAP.
- It handles collections of IMAP servers the way IMAP handles collections of
- message folders. IMSP extends the IMAP2bis operations for creating, deleting,
- renaming, [un]subscribing, and listing folders to multiple IMAP servers; it
- also has some capabilities for distributed user configuration information.
-
- IMSP doesn't have any capability to deal with messages.
-
- You don't need IMSP at all if you only have one IMAP server.
