Setting up Your Email Address with POP
You can always use Web-Based Email to send and receive email messages. Post Office Protocol (POP) lets you retrieve email from a remote server through an email client.
BEFORE YOU START: To set up your email client with your email, you need to know your POP or IMAP Email Server Settings and ports. To find them, go to the InfoCenter and write down the information that displays under Email Server Settings.
To Configure POP for Your Email Account
- Create an account with your email client.
- In the client for which you want to configure POP, locate the POP settings and enter the following:
- Username
- Your full email address
- Password
- Your email account password
- Incoming Mail Server
- Your incoming server.
- Outgoing Mail Server
- Your outgoing server.
- Incoming Port
- Without SSL - 110
With SSL - 995 - Outgoing Port
- Without SSL - one of the following 25, 80, 3535
With SSL - 465
NOTE: Your email client may require password authentication for your Outgoing Mail Server.
