Select the desired account type. You can choose between the following account types:
–POP3 account
–IMAP account
-Microsoft Exchange ActiveSyncWe recommend that you use the default IMAP account type. With this protocol, messages are only downloaded completely when they are opened. All actions (such as moving or deleting emails, creating folders) are performed directly on the server.
If you manage your emails on one device only, and you do not want to leave your messages on the server, create a POP3 account instead. However, please be aware that if the messages are deleted from this device or if the device becomes lost/stolen/broken, you will no longer have access to the emails.
