Clients of I.T.ZAP Website Design Works can follow this guide to setup their SSL secured and encrypted POP3 email accounts on either a desktop computer or mobile device.
All your email account Usernames and Passwords will have been provided in an Excel Workbook named "Confidential VIP Website Details.xlsx" (or something similar).
Why a POP3 email account and not IMAP ?
-
With IMAP all your email messages and file attachments remain on the website server ... like forever, which is just a waste of storage space. With multiple email accounts you can approach your data storage limit quite quickly, unless you Login to the cPanel server and clean out old messages regularly. And with IMAP you cannot use the very handy Reminder and Follow-up Flag features in Microsoft Outlook. Personally, I cannot operate efficiently without those Reminders. So POP3 email is definitely the best way to go and what I recommend.
-
With POP3 all new email messages are downloaded to your computer and/or mobile device each time you connect, where they remain until you decide to delete them, or they are archived. This is why POP3 is the better Mail Account choice.
-
Go to your Internet Email Advanced settings tab to select when messages are automatically deleted from the web server to free up space. 7 or 14 days is my recommended auto-delete setting. Once this setting is applied, email messages can then be downloaded and received on multiple devices; your desktop computer, your iPhone, your iPad AND other people's devices before they are deleted from the server. Very handy indeed !

Auto Discover Settings Feature
The I.T.ZAP web hosting server features “Auto Discovery”. Once you enter your email address username, password and mail server name, most email software and mobile devices will automatically detect your correct email accounts settings.
If the auto-configuration fails, then please set up the POP3 email account using manual settings.
Finally, if you have any trouble, then simply contact Gary Flack.
