**PLEASE NOTE: Read all text associated below each image. The images that are provided are for illustration purposes only, and the text input represented within the images does not accurately describe what you should be using for your setup. Lastly, the major difference between POP3 & IMAP is that with IMAP you see and manipulate your e-mail messages and mailboxes/folders from your e-mail client remotely over the Internet; rather than having to download the complete messages and create/manipulate folders on your local computer. IMAP will leave email and folders stored on the mail server which can be accessed the same using webmail or another IMAP enabled email program remotely from different locations. POP3 usually (unless you set it up not to delete emails until you erase them in the client) will download and erase all the emails off the server and store them locally on your computer.

Email Setup Guides
**PLEASE NOTE: Spam filtering is automatically enabled, and by default uses the Webmail SPAM folder. If setting up one of the clients below, click here to check out the page on how to disable using the Webmail SPAM folder. If you do not do this, then legitimate email messages you want to see, might be thought of as SPAM, and put into the Webmail SPAM folder, and you will never see them in your email client. This was enabled by default because of customer complaints about getting hit with tons of SPAM before they learned how to enable the SPAM filtering.

Glossary of Terms


IMAP
IMAP (Internet Mail Access Protocol) is an Internet standard for the reading and manipulation of email messages stored on a server. The current version is IMAP4.

Messages and folders are stored on a remote server. An IMAP email client running on a local computer contacts the server and uses IMAP to allow the user to see and manipulate their email messages and mailboxes.

IMAP differs from the common Post Office Protocol (POP) in that it allows a user to store folders on a server and manipulate them remotely using a local email client. It can download partial, or full messages to save on connection speeds(good over low-speed links). When you login using another client, you will have the same emails and folders available.


POP
POP (Post Office Protocol) is a protocol for delivering email to personal computers. The current version is POP3.

Messages are stored on a central email server. Users can log on with an email client and download their messages. All pending messages and attachments are downloaded at the same time. All emails are then erased from the remote server, unless specified not to in the mail client options.

POP differs from IMAP in that it doesn't allow users to store folders on a server and manipulate them remotely using a local email client. With POP, all messages are completely downloaded and manipulated on a local computer. Folders are created on the local client software.


SMTP
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a protocol for sending email messages. Most email systems that send mail over the Internet use SMTP to send messages from one server to another; the messages can then be retrieved with an email client using either POP or IMAP.


SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) / TLS (Transport Layer Security)
SSL/TLS encrypts everything sent between two computers. When used with an email program it protects your password and the contents of your email from interception while en route between your computer and the email server. (When used with web pages, it protects your credit card details and other personal information from interception during transmission from your computer to a web site.) Its use does not imply that the data is encrypted when it is on a computer, only while it is in transit.
