Using Your Email Software or Mobile Device
You can optionally use email software on your computer or access your email from a mobile device.
NOTE: Before proceeding please verify if your account is enabled for POP3 or IMAP. You must know which account type you have.
What is the difference between POP3 and IMAP?
IMAP protocol will store all your email folders in the cloud and allow devices to synchronize your mail data so you can access the data in Webmail and on other devices. The POP3 protocol will simply download your inbox mail to one or more devices. POP3 software will usually leave the inbox mail in the cloud for other devices to download and then remove it after several days.
Neither POP3 or IMAP protocols will synchronize your calendar, contacts or tasks. Please inquire about a Microsoft exchange business email account for this feature.
