Every mail client has the basic settings listed below in order to connect to the server. There are also a couple of different method for connecting; we support both POP3 and IMAP. The two protocols are very different. POP3 makes a simple request for new email and then fully downloads all messages on the server unless you choose the option to leave messages on the server - In that case a copy is left on the server and another client can also download it. A good use case for this is if you check your email a lot from you phone, you could have it leave messages on the server but then every day or once a week you could check from a desktop computer and have it NOT leave messages. If you really do want to leave your messages on the server for all time the better option is IMAP -- This is the best choice if you plan to connect to your email from multiple clients such as both your phone and desktop client or even use our web-based client. IMAP is also the best choice if you're always connected. However, there may be space limitations so it's a good idea to manage junk mail and spam more aggressively.
