Whonami-How to change from POP to IMAP?

How to change from POP to IMAP?

You can always use Web-Based Email to send and receive email messages. But you also can view your email with an email client. To change your POP account to an IMAP account, you must have an email plan that supports IMAP.

You can change to IMAP by changing your existing account or by creating a new one from within your email client. You cannot change the account type for some clients, including Apple Mail, Outlook 2003®, Outlook 2007®, Outlook Express®, and Thunderbird®. To use IMAP with these clients, you must create a new account.

Verifying Your Email Account Supports IMAP

Only our Unlimited Email plan supports IMAP. If you do not have an Unlimited Email plan and you want to use IMAP, you can upgrade your plan.

Log in to your Account Manager.
Click Workspace Email.
If your email plan is an Unlimited Email plan, IMAP is supported. If not, next to the account you want to upgrade, click Options.
Go to the Overview tab, and then from the Upgrade menu, select Unlimited.
Click Upgrade.
Continue through the checkout process.

Upgrading your email account to support IMAP can take up to 24 hours.

Changing Your POP Account to an IMAP Account

Before You Start:

You need the names of your incoming and outgoing servers to set up email with a client. Web-Based Email contains this information.

Log in to Web-Based Email at email.secureserver.net.
From the Help menu, select Email Setup Center.
Make a note of your incoming and outgoing server information.
Continue with the procedures outlined below to set up your email client.
To Change Your POP Account to an IMAP Account

In the client you use to check your email, locate the account settings and enter the following:

Incoming Mail Server — Your incoming IMAP server.
Outgoing Mail Server — Your outgoing SMTP server.
Incoming Port — Without SSL – 143
With SSL – 993
Outgoing Port — Without SSL – one of the following:25, 80, 3535

Whonami-The way to set up your email address with IMAP

The way to set up your email address with IMAP

You can always use Workspace Webmail to send and receive email messages. Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) lets you access email stored on a mail server from multiple computers and devices. To use IMAP email, you must have an email plan that supports IMAP.

It lets you access your email messages and files without transferring them between computers. You set up IMAP on the computers from which you want to access email from your account.

Our servers often use different names for folders compared with the client you’re using. Folders, such as Sent, might remain out of sync until you correctly map them. To do this, clients, such as Microsoft Outlook®, typically publish detailed instructions online. We recommend searching the Internet for instructions from that client to correctly map your folders.

BEFORE YOU START: To set up your email client with your email, you need to know your POP or IMAP Email Server Settings and ports. To find them, go to the Email Setup Centerand write down the information that displays under Email Server Settings.

To Set Up IMAP for Your Email Account

Create an account with your email client.
In the client for which you want to configure IMAP, locate the IMAP settings and enter the following:

Username

Your full email address

Password

Your email account password

Incoming Mail Server

imap.secureserver.net

Outgoing Mail Server

smtpout.secureserver.net

Incoming Port

Without SSL – 143
With SSL – 993

Outgoing Port

Without SSL – one of the following: 25, 80, 3535
With SSL – 465

Whonami-The difference between POP and IMAP

The difference between POP and IMAP

POP stands for Post Office Protocol, and was designed as a simple way to access a remote email server. The most recent version is POP 3, and is supported by virtually all email clients and servers.

POP works by downloading your emails from your provider’s mail server, and then marking them for deletion there. This means you can only ever read those email messages in that email client, on that computer. You will not be able to access any previously downloaded emails from any other device, or with any other email client, or through webmail.

IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol, and was designed specifically to eliminate the limitations of POP.

IMAP allows you to access your emails from any client, and any device, and webmail login at any time, until you delete them. You are always seeing the same emails, no matter how you access your provider’s server.

Since your email is stored on the provider’s server and not locally, you may run into email storage limits, when using IMAP.
