Email Server Protocol
·
POP3
(or POP) - This protocol downloads a users mail from a remote server and saves
it on a local machine. When downloading your mail, you have the option of
keeping a copy of the messages on the server, or deleting it upon downloading
to your local computer.
·
IMAP
- This protocol will allow you to keep the messages on the remote server and
allows you to view and manipulate the messages with out saving them on the
local system. This is most advantageous if you access email from multiple
computers. Note that it is still possible through settings within your email
software to download email and store it locally on your computer. **IMAP is
required if using the Beanbasket Spam Filtering services.
In the Outgoing Server box, type the
Outgoing Mail server (the server that sends your mail) provided with your email
account information.
In the Incoming Server box, type the
incoming mail server (the server from which you receive mail). provided with
your email account information.

Username provided by your Beanbasket Account Representative and click Next.
This username will sometimes be different than the prefix on your email
address, so make sure to double check it.

Name and click Next. Note that this is just a name used locally,
and can be anything you would like.
8. Review the settings.
If all are correct, click Finish to continue.
9. Back in the Mail
& Newsgroup Account Settings window, click on Server Settings in
the left pane. Put a check mark next to Clean up (“Expunge”) Inbox on Exit.
10. IMAP Users: (if you are using
POP, skip this) Click on the "Advanced" tab, and UNCHECK the option
"Show only subscribed folders". Make sure that "server supports
folders that contain subfolders and messages" is checked. You make check
the “Use IDLE command if the server supports it”. Maximum connections should
be set to 2. Larger numbers will cause odd behavior. The rest of the
configuration should already be set to something like it is here. If not,
change it to match what is in the picture below. Click “OK”, and then click
“OK” again on window underneath this, to get back out to your inbox.

created Inbox. If you aren’t prompted for a password, click on Get
