Using IMAP Email Protocols
The Internet Message Access Protocol, or IMAP, is a system that is essentially web-based. Instead of downloading email as in POP3, you access a live view of the online server. This is convenient if you use a smartphone and computer systems to access email. Instead of downloading the message and removing it from the server, the IMAP keeps everything online.
The connection settings for IMAP and POP3 are:
| Username: | <full email address> |
| Password: | <password to the mailbox> |
| Incoming Server: | mail.yourdomain.com
|
| Outgoing Server: | mail.yourdomain.com
|
IMAP, POP3, and SMTP require authentication. |
