 ## Background
 
-Traditional accessing IMAP message store uses [JavaMail API](https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javamail/index.html), which requires blocking I/O where a thread is blocked when performing I/O with the other end.This project was developed to allow for relieving the waiting thread to perform other tasks.  This design efficiently improves the threads utilization and allows the consuming application to maximize the hardware throughput and capacity.

-Following is a list of distinguishing features in this project:
+Some of the more distinguishing features of this library are:
 - Highly customizable thread model and server/client idle max limit.
-- Leverages the well-established framework - [Netty](https://netty.io/)
+- Leverages the well-established framework [Netty](https://netty.io/)
 - Future-based design enables a clean separation of IMAP client threads pool versus consumers threads pool. 
 - IMAPv4, [RFC3501](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3501) support.
 - ID command, [RFC2971](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2971) support.
 - IDLE command, [RFC2177](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2177) support
 - MOVE command, [RFC6851](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6851) support
 - UNSELECT command, [RFC3691](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3691) support
 
-This project is ideal for applications that have a high requirement to optimize the threads utilization for improving its overall resource capacity.  Mostly appropriate for consumers performing a great amount of sessions and communications with the IMAP server.

+This project is ideal for applications that have a high requirement to optimize thread utilization and improve overall resource capacity. Specifically, this is best for situations where users perform a very high level of sessions and communication with the IMAP server.
 
 ## Install
 
-If you've never used git before, please take a moment to familiarize yourself with [what it is and how it works](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Git-Basics). To install this project, you'll [need to have git installed and set up](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git) on your local development environment.
-
-Install by running the following command.
-
-```
-git clone https://github.com/lafaspot/imapnio.git
