If you would like to learn more about the differences between POP and IMAP, please see the help topic, “POP vs. IMAP – Choosing Between the Two.”

For increased security, we recommend that you use our secure (SSL) servers, as detailed below. Note: If your internal system configurations require non-SSL ports, please see the “Email Server Settings” page for our full list of available servers and ports.
