These are the email configuration settings that must be used, if the email account is to login on a third-party email client, such as a mobile phone or desktop email application. IMAP and POP3 are alternative inbound email protocols, and we highly recommend users always utilize IMAP if possible. POP3 is suitable only for a singular device that accesses the email client, whereas IMAP allows many devices to potentially do so without issue.
