UW IMAP
The UW IMAP server was the reference server implementation of the Internet Message Access Protocol. It was developed at the University of Washington by Mark Crispin and others.
UW-IMAP's development began c.1988.
As of 2003, UW IMAP was among the three most popular free software IMAP server packages, the other two being Cyrus IMAP and Courier IMAP. As of 2005, by which point its codebase had undergone extensive rewriting, it was among the top two, the other being Cyrus IMAP.
In May 2008, the University of Washington terminated development of UW IMAP.
On 4 August 2008, staff at the University of Washington who had been involved in developing UW IMAP, Pine, and Alpine,[citation needed] announced that they would "shift our effort from direct development into more of a consultation and coordination role to help integrate contributions from the community," in the wake of layoffs at the University of Washington's technology division.
c. January - August 2009, the maintainers of Debian GNU/Linux, a major downstream distributor of UW IMAP, began to retire their UW IMAP packages.
In September 2009,[citation needed] Mark Crispin, the principal author of UW IMAP, announced a fork called Panda IMAP. Crispin died in late 2012.
At least one UW IMAP enthusiast maintains a public source code repository containing the UW IMAP and Panda IMAP commit history from the start of the project until Crispin's final release.
