If you would like to learn more about the differences between Post Office Protocol (POP) and Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP), see the help topic, POP vs. IMAP.

For increased security, we recommend that you use our Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) servers as detailed below.

NOTE: If your internal system configurations require non-SSL ports, see the Email Server Settings page for our full list of available servers and ports.
