Application Configuration Access Protocol

The Application Configuration Access Protocol (ACAP) was 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.
