- Choose from ‘Incoming:’ -dropdown list the protocol you wish to use:
- POP3: If this is chosen, the program will automatically download all incoming messages to your PC and erase those messages from server. Good thing about this is, that the serverside mailbox will never fill up, but the downside is that you can’t read your messages from anywhere else, but your own computer.
- IMAP: This protocol shows you messages from your serverside mailbox, and doesn’t erase them. This allows you to read your mail from anywhere. With this you have to be careful with your mailbox filling up and you have to manually erase old messages.
- In ‘Server hostname – Incoming:’, write incoming mail address:
- Server address is imap.yourdomain.ending or pop.yourdomain.ending
- For example imap.yourdomain.com or pop.mydomain.net.
