http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2060.txt
is the canonical reference for the protocol. It's dry, but not
inscrutable by any means if you're trying to figure out how the protocol
works.
If you want something less specific, I'm going to be at a loss. It's
hard to distill something like this down any clearer than what's in the
RFC.
