      POP3 or IMAP?

      Because IMAP is able to keep your mail synced across multiple devices, we highly recommend using IMAP instead of POP3. Using IMAP will allow you to easily check your email on your phone, on your home computer, and with webmail.
    • Then, under Incoming Mail Server, fill in your Host NameUser Name (this will be your email address), and your email Password.
    • Now, for Outgoing Mail Server, enter your Host NameUser Name (this will be your email address), and your email Password.
    • Then, tap Next (or Save for POP3).
