Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP)

■

The name of the incoming mail server

Layer (SSL), APOP, or Extended Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (ESMTP)

■

■

The login script (if any) that you need for connecting to your ISP or mail server

NOTE

Information about your e-mail account is available from the e-mail provider.
