How to Connect IMAP Email in Apple Mac Mail Client?

WHAT IS IMAP?

By setting up an IMAP for your email, you can access it from a server, and it only downloads emails or attachments as prompted. Whichever device you want to check your emails with, you can do so without worrying about having anything deleted or inaccessible.

In contrast, POP also allows you to access your emails but as soon as you download your emails and its contents, they can only be retrieved from the same device, and will simultaneously be removed from the origin server. If you prefer a POP email account setup, click here and we can show you how.
