Accessing an IMAP mailbox is intended to save files there as encrypted
messages. It could be used in case there are no other remote file
storages available.
@value{tramp} supports both @option{imap} and @option{imaps} methods.
The latter one accesses the IMAP server over ssl.
Both methods support the port number specification.
Note that special handling is needed for declaring a passphrase for
encryption / decryption of the messages (@pxref{Using an
