Imap | Pop |
The IMAP protocol, by default, allows the user to keep all messages on the server. It constantly synchronizes the e-mail program with the server and displays what messages are currently present. All the actions performed on the messages (reading, moving, deleting...) will be done directly on the server. Because everything is kept on the server the user will be able to access the e-mail in the inbox from any computer in the world connected to the Internet and can will always find the same settings in their e-mail account. | The POP protocol, by default, is set to download all the messages from the e-mail server onto your computer. This means that all the actions performed on the messages (reading, moving, deleting...) will be performed on one's computer. Because everything is kept on the user’s computer, the user will not be able to reopen messages from any location other than the computer where the messages have been downloaded. Once e-mail is downloaded it can be accessed only using the same computer. |
Under the heading Incoming Mail Server
Host : mail. Followed by your domain name Example mail.yourdomain.com
Username: This is the username we gave you. Usually it’s the main email address which you are trying to access. So if you are wanting to access the inbox of info@yourdomain.com the username will be info@yourdomain.com
Password: is the password we provided.
As for outgoing mail server put the same details as incoming mail server.
