Using your Email

POP and
IMAP are the 2 most common
email protocols on the internet. Both POP and IMAP allow an email client to communicate with your services in different ways.How does POP work?
POP (Post Office Protocol) is the older method among the two for mail retrieval. POP grabs the emails from your server and downloads them to your email client.
These emails are deleted from the server, and will not be available if you access your mail
from another location, including webmail.
Junk mail may be routed into a Spam Folder which is accessible only to IMAP connections, so if you're using POP, you may miss out on potential emails that have been filtered to junk mailbox. If you decide to use POP you can still view these messages using webmail at http://webmail. or http://www./webmail .
How does IMAP work?
IMAP is the safer way to connect to your email server. It displays contents of your mailbox as they appear on your server. Spam folders are configured to be IMAP-Only, meaning you will need to use an IMAP connection in order to view and delete messages. So IMAP connection is a better way to keep an eye on your Spam folder, and to make sure you don't download email off your server that you would like to read elsewhere.What about Email Security?
Customers who travel more often and like to securely check their email from various locations such as a wireless hotspot can use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). This will allow any email client to connect to your service over an encrypted connection.Settings for IMAP with SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)
