When setting up your email account in an email client or application, you need to know the correct email settings. These settings include POP3, IMAP, and SMTP configurations. Here’s a detailed guide on what each setting is and how to configure them:

1. POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3)

POP3 is used to download emails from the server to your computer. Once downloaded, emails are usually deleted from the server.

• Incoming Server: mail.yourdomain.com
• Port: 995
• Secure Connection Type: SSL / TLS (recommended)
• Username: Your full email address
• Password: Your email account password

2. IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol)

IMAP allows you to view and manage emails directly on the server. It keeps emails on the server, making them accessible from multiple devices.

• Incoming Server: mail.yourdomain.com
• Port: 993
• Secure Connection Type: SSL / TLS (recommended)
• Username: Your full email address
• Password: Your email account password

3. SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)

SMTP is used to send emails from your email client to the email server.

• Outgoing Server: mail.yourdomain.com
• Port: 465
• Secure Connection Type: SSL / TLS (recommended)
• Username: Your full email address
• Password: Your email account password
