You can always use Web-Based Email to send and receive email
messages. Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) lets you
access email stored on a mail server from multiple computers and
devices. This enables you to access your email messages and
files without transferring them between computers. You set up
IMAP on the computer(s) from which you want to access email from
your account.
NOTE: To use IMAP email,
you must have an email plan that supports IMAP. |
