In December 2001, @value{tramp} has been added to the XEmacs package
repository. Being part of the GNU Emacs repository happened in June

-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
-authentication file}).

the port, you match all @value{tramp} methods.

-A special case are @option{imap}-like methods. Authentication with
-the IMAP server is performed via @file{imap.el}, there is no special
-need from @value{tramp} point of view. An additional passphrase, used
-for symmetric encryption and decryption of the stored messages, should
-be given with the special port indication @option{tramp-imap}:

The package was intended to work on Unix, and it really expects a

-@option{imap} methods), but some people seemed to have some success
-getting it to work on MS Windows XP/Vista/7 @value{emacsname}.
