Cnfiguring an Email Client fr yur Hsting Supprt POP/IMAP mailbx This article lists the email settings and prt numbers fr pp and imap cnfiguratins, as well as fr SSL. It cntains instructins fr setting up Outlk and iphne as the email clients fr yur hsting accunt POP mailbx, and tutrials fr ther clients. Difference between POP and IMAP settings Unlike POP, IMAP ffers a tw-way cmmunicatin between yur Hsting Supprt mailbx and yur email client(s). S, when yu perfrm an actin n yur mailbx, r a message in yur mailbx, it is immediately reflected n the email clients and mbile devices and vice versa (ex: if yu lg int yur Hsting Supprt accunt, create a new flder, and put a message int that flder, this change will instantly and autmatically appear in yur email client, such as Outlk, and n yur mbile device). Als, if yu are at wrk, and yu begin a message, and save it, it will still be there when yu lg in frm a different client, say frm hme. IMAP prvides a better methd t access yur mail frm multiple devices, say frm wrk, hme, and yur mbile, thrugh tw-way syncing capabilities between yur mail clients and the Hsting Supprt mailbx. Hwever, because IMAP saves all yur messages n the server, be sure frequently clean up yur mailbx, deleting ld messages.
