IMAP is an Internet standard protocol used by email clients to retrieve email messages from a mail server over a TCP/IP connection.

IMAP Port

• IPv4 Ports: IMAP port for IP version 4.
• IPv4 Secure Ports: Implicit port for IP version 4.
• IPv6 Ports:IMAP port for IP version 6.
• IPv6 Secure Ports: Implicit port for IP version 6.

Service Time

Mode: To apply service time for IMAP response.

• 0-No Service Time: No service time delay is applied. Helps in doing max load testing.
  • value1: Not Applicable.
  • value2: Not Applicable
  • Description: Helps in doing max load testing
• 1-Exponential Random: Exponential random service time with median of specified seconds is applied. For exponential random distribution, median is roughly around 1/4th of the mean. This takes a random value equivalent to median time.
  • value1: Median Time(> 0)
  • value2: Not Applicable
  • Description: This takes a random value equivalent to median time.
• 2-Constant: A constant service time of specified seconds. Helps in doing controlled tests.
  • value1: Constant Time (> 0)
  • value2: Not Applicable
  • Description:Helps in doing controlled tests. It takes a constant value. As one can calculate the number of page requests expected within certain duration.
• 3-Uniform Distribution: It is more Realistic. The value is a random value between the minimum and maximum time defined. Min should be less than or equal to Max.
  • value1: Minimum Time (>= 0)
  • value2: Maximum Time(> 0 and >= Min)
  • Description: It is more Realistic. The value is a random value between the minimum and maximum time defined. Min should be less than or equal to Max.

Command:

• GREETING: Used for session initiation.
• LOGIN: Establishes authentication and enters the authenticated state.
• SELECT: Select a mailbox for access and enter the selected state.
• LIST: Returns a subset of names from the complete set of all names available to the client.
• FETCH: Retrieves data associated with a message in the mailbox.
• DELE: Permanently removes the mailbox with the given name.
• LOGOUT: Informs the server that the client is done with the connection.
• NOOP: Used as a periodic poll for new messages or message status updates during a period of inactivity
• CAPABILITY: Requests a listing of capabilities that the server supports.
• ALL: To apply service time for all of the commands, choose ALL.
• Average Time: The Time taken in between Min and Max time (Formula: (Min+Max)/2) or (no of transactions * time of each transaction / total no of transactions).
• Maximum Time: Time taken for completing the Service test.
