You have two options when setting up your email account on a device and our suggestion is to use IMAP. This is a good idea if you use lots of devices to access your emails and if for any reason, you have an issue with your client/device you'll still be able to access your emails using webmail. No matter which email domain you have, you should use the settings below:
