What are the advantages and disadvantages between POP, IMAP & Exchange email?
Each email protocol has its own advantage for different use scenarios.
POP stands for ‘Post Office Protocol’, which delivers a single copy of the email to your device and removes all copies from the server, or for a short number of days. The advantage is this can save space for cloud storage, and allows your emails to be manually backed up and restored to your device. The disadvantage is that if your device fails, you may lose all of your email permanently and webmail will only display your latest messages.
IMAP stands for ‘Internet Message Access Protocol’, and unlike POP, it keeps messages on the mail server for a set number of days, or permanently. The advantage for IMAP is it works best from any browser or two or more devices, and keeps your email in sync between them so you can be up to date from any device. The disadvantage is that it will use more cloud storage.
Exchange offers the same convenient email syncing functions as IMAP, but can also sync tasks, contacts, and calendars between devices and other exchange users. This allows for tremendous productivity as calendar scheduling, contacts, and task responsibilities can be shared among a group. The disadvantage is exchange accounts tend to cost much more than POP or IMAP.

What setting do I use to setup my email on my computer or mobile device?
NetAccess has several different email servers and you may require our support to configure your device properly. Our standard settings are as follows:
Your full email address is your Username. (i.e. myname@mydomain.com)
The Hostname is always in this format: mail.mydomain.com
Disable SSL for both incoming and outgoing mail settings
Some of our mail servers require outgoing authentication, which need to have your username (full email address) and password re-entered. Try setting up your email with or without outgoing authentication to find the setting that matches our server.
