Mail Settings<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Our mail server provides pop3<\/strong> and imap<\/strong> capabilities as well as their TLS<\/strong> equivalents, pop3s<\/strong> and imaps<\/strong>. We st<\/strong><\/span><\/span>rongly<\/strong><\/span> recommend imap<\/strong>, especially if multiple devices are involved. Imap <\/strong><\/span>provides access to all your mail folders, pop3<\/strong> only provides access to <\/span>your INBOX<\/strong>. Imap<\/strong> provides access from multiple devices, pop3 does <\/span><\/span>not<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 With most mail programs, the only way to switch from pop3<\/strong> to imap<\/strong> is to <\/span>delete the account and recreate it. Doing so will usually also delete any <\/span>local mail folders so it is advisable to backup local mail folders before <\/span><\/span>switching from pop3<\/strong> to imap<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Our mail server provides TLS encryption for both incoming and outgoing mail. <\/span>Green <\/span><\/strong>settings are recommended and will provided encrypted mail sessions.<\/span> Black<\/strong> settings will work but may expose authentication to sniffing if auth called before TLS negotiation<\/span>. Red<\/span><\/strong> settings are NOT recommended and will definitely expose authentication information<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n
