Select account type

  1. Now select either an IMAP or POP3 account:
    • IMAP: by choosing IMAP, your e-mails are stored on the server. Each time you read an e-mail, a copy is downloaded from the server.
    • POP3: by choosing POP3, your e-mails are downloaded to and saved on your smartphone. The messages are then deleted from the server. This allows you to read your e-mails at any time, even if you are not connected to the internet.
    If you are unsure, select “IMAP”.
