The UW IMAP Server is the reference server implementation of the IMAP protocol. Both the Request for Comments (RFC) 3501 and the UW IMAP are from Mark Crispin. In contrast to other server implementations, great emphasis was placed on being compatible with existing mailbox formats. The server was created in November 1990.
UW IMAP relies on the c-client program library , which is also used by Alpine and Pine . C-client supports the following mailbox formats: mbox , MIX, mbx , MMDF , tenex, mtx, mh , mx and Usenet news spool and the following Internet protocols : IMAP, POP3 , NNTP and SMTP .
On 4 August 2008, the Alpine team has University of Washington announced "shift our effort from direct development into more of a consultation and coordination role to help integrate contributions from the community." (We shift our efforts from the direct development, an advisory and coordination function to integrate the contributions from the developer community .) Mark Crispin started a fork called Panda IMAP.
