Print this Article
Last Updated: February 26, 2009 3:22 PM

Post Office Protocol (POP) allows you to retrieve email from a remote server through your third-party email client. You can access the email messages on your email account by configuring your email client with our POP settings.

To Configure POP for Your Email Account

  1. Create an account with your email client.
  2. In the client for which you want to configure POP, locate the POP settings and set the following:
    Username
    Your full email address.
    Password
    Your email account password.
    Incoming Mail Server
    Use pop.secureserver.net for your incoming mail server.
    Outgoing Mail Server
    Use smtpout.secureserver.net for your outgoing mail server.
    Incoming Port
    If you enabled SSL, use port 995. If you do not have SSL enabled, use port 110 for your incoming port.
    Outgoing Port
    If you enabled SSL, use port 465. If you do not have SSL enabled, use port 587, 25, 80, or 3535 for your outgoing port.

NOTE: Your email client may require password authentication for your Outgoing Mail Server.
