Explanation

IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is exclusively an email protocol. It synchronizes email messages between a mail server and email clients, keeping sent and received emails in sync across multiple devices. IMAP does not handle calendar entries (A), which are typically synced via CalDAV or Exchange ActiveSync. It does not sync text messages (B), which are carrier-level communications unrelated to IMAP. It does not sync contacts (D), which are handled by CardDAV or ActiveSync. Since no additional helper applications were installed, only the native IMAP functionality applies, which means only sent/received email will be synced.
