Application Configuration Access Protocol
ACAP

   <protocol> (ACAP) A {protocol} which enhances {IMAP} by
   allowing the user to set up {address books}, user options, and
   other data for universal access.  Currently (Feb 1997) no
   Internet proprietary products have implemented ACAP because
   the {Internet Engineering Task Force} has not yet approved the
   final specification.  This was expected early in 1997.
