Common Settings for your account:

Email

>> These settings apply for all email software including Outlook, Live Mail, Android, Iphone, and MAC

First, POP or IMAP?

When setting up the account on your device (computer, tablet, phone) you will be given the option of POP or IMAP.

Quick Recommendations: Note that you can setup POP on 1 device, such as a computer, and access the same account using IMAP with your phone.

>Use POP on laptops and computers if you don't need to access email history more than two week old on other devices (To keep recent incoming messages accessbile by phone, set your email program to "Keep a Copy of Messages on the Server" for 14 days.)

>Use IMAP on laptops and computers if you need to permanently have access to your inbox and sent items on other devices as well. Remember that email kept on the server with IMAP does contribute to your overall storage limits.

>Use IMAP on Phones and Tablets.

>For companies with 10 or more users, use POP email. This will keep your overall storage on the server low, since POP email pulls mail from the server while IMAP stores mail on the server.

Next, Standard or Secure Email?

Both methods use the same email server, but Standard Email sends your username and password across the Internet unencrypted, while Secure Email encrypts this information.

Quick recommendation: For wired computers, use standard email. All others, use Secure Email.

After choosing POP or IMAP, and Secure or Non-Secure, See the settings to the right >>
