Creating a mail file for an IMAP user
Each IMAP user must have a mail file on the IBM® Domino® server. You can create the mail file automatically during user registration, or you can manually create a mail file. If the user is already a registered IBM® Notes® user who has an existing Domino® mail file and if you set up the user's Person document for IMAP access, the user can access the mail file from an IMAP client.
