# Pentesting IMAP (ports 143, 993)
## When to Use
- Default ports: `143/tcp` (cleartext IMAP) and `993/tcp` (IMAP over TLS / IMAPS).
- When `nmap`/banner shows `imap`, an `* OK ... IMAP4` greeting, or Dovecot/Courier/Exchange IMAP.
- For credential testing and post-auth mailbox data extraction (emails often hold reusable secrets).
## Quick Enumeration
```bash
# Cleartext banner
nc -nv <IP> 143
# IMAPS banner
openssl s_client -connect <IP>:993 -quiet
