Select Protocol type – we recommend IMAP if you use this email on multiple devices and a PC. To help you decide which protocol to use, check out this guide to IMAP vs POP.
Add your Host Name, User Name and Password for Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server. The information entered should be the same regardless of whether you are using POP or IMAP.
If you use IMAP you can enable Mail and Notes. Select Save.
