POP3
- Provides reliable access to your emails on a specific computer (once they're downloaded). However, it doesn't back up your messages or sync between devices by default.
- Useful to access emails offline, however if they are deleted there are no backups.
IMAP
- Stores your emails safely on the server, and lets you access and interact with it from any device.
- Useful to access email from multiple devices, or if you want a secure backup for all emails.

Stanard Email Messaging Ports
The following info applies to advanced email setting:
- Your email provider or corporate admin should provided these ports setting:
- POP3: 110
- IMAP: 143
- SMTP: 25
- Secure SMTP (SSMTP): 465
- Secure IMAP (IMAP4-SSL): 585
- IMAP4 over SSL (IMAPS): 993
- Secure POP3 (SSL-POP): 99
- To use a non-standard port, add a colon (:) followed by the port number to the end of the server name.
- For example, if your incoming mail server (pop.mailserver.net) communicates via port 115, the server would be configured as pop.mailserver.net:115.
- ISP/SMTP providers:
- May require Authenticated SMTP (ASMTP).ASMTP uses some form of authentication (username/password, IP address, etc.) to verify that a sender is authorized to send messages using that particular server.
- If the provider uses an IP address or IP range for authentication, you must establish a dial-up connection to the ISP/SMTP provider. This ensures you are assigned a valid IP address for authentication. Otherwise, attempts to send fail.
- If the provider uses a username/password combination to authenticate senders:
- The combination must be valid for both the incoming and outgoing servers.
- Some email clients do not support ASMTP that is independent of the incoming username/password. In these cases, you may not be able to retrieve email from one provider and send using another.
