SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) – The outgoing mail server. This can be problematic because it can appear that mail is missing or disappearing from your Inbox if you try to check your mail from a different computer or device. Tap the email account from which you want to send emails (or add a new one if its the case). POP (Post Office Protocol) – Messages are downloaded from the Windstream server to a single device, then deleted from the server. This is the preferred incoming server type, especially if multiple devices check the same email address. All devices using IMAP will look the same if a message is deleted, or a folder is created on any one device, or our webmail, that change will immediately reflect on all devices. IMAP (Internet Messaging Access Protocol) – Messages are kept on the Windstream server. IMAP is recommended for the incoming.īoth the incoming and outgoing servers will need to verify your full email address and password to work correctly so be sure you enable authentication on the outgoing server as well.
If your email app or client didn’t set up the servers automatically after you provided your email address, you will need to manually enter the incoming (IMAP or POP) and outgoing (SMTP) mail servers.
