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
- Create an account with your email client.
- 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.
