Server Settings

If you are an advanced user and just need the server settings to configure an IMAP or POP client, here's how to find them:

1. Log into Catmail from a web browser.
2. Click though the following steps:
   Options > See All Options > Account > My Account > Settings for POP, IMAP, and SMTP access
3. The settings you need will be listed in the Protocol Settings page for POP, IMAP, or SMTP.

IMAP or POP?

You can check for mail using either IMAP or POP.  Server settings will be slightly different depending on which method you choose.

• IMAP stores your email on the server until you delete it. IMAP works well for people who use multiple devices.
  
• POP downloads all your mail from the server and stores it on your local device. Once mail has been downloaded, it can be accessed from your e-mail client at any time, even if your device is not connected to the Internet.  POP works best for people who use a single device to check email.
