Pop3 will download from the server, best for one device. Imap will sync, best for multiple devices.

Step 5: Select More Settings
Step 6: Select the outgoing server tab and place a check in the first box “My outgoing server (smtp) requires authentication” and a radio button in “use same settings as my incoming server”
Step 7:
Select the advanced tab *Two different setup methods*
If you wish to use ssl, use for incoming:
POP3 Port 995
IMAP Port 993
Make sure the SSL box is selected or the drop down is set to SSL/Auto.
If you wish to not use ssl, use:
POP3 Port 110
IMAP Port 143
The box for SSL is unchecked or set to none.
Make sure the outgoing port is 2525
“Use the following” under the outgoing port set to “Auto or TLS” May have to test it on both, for mysetup here it accepted TLS for outgoing
NOTE: If you picked pop3, make sure you pick an option for “leave a copy on the server”. Pop3 will download all the emails from the server and delete them on the server (webmail) if you do not choose to leave a copy.
Once done, select ok, select next which should test incoming/outgoing.
