   • POP3 will download the emails from the server and store them on your phone.

3. IMAP server: This is typically your domain name preceded by the prefix mail. This can be found in the Email Accounts section of the cPanel, under More > Configure Mail Client.

   • Non Secure (No SSL): 143
   • Secure (SSL): 993
