How do I switch my email from POP3 to IMAP?

Duplicates 1
Email to stay on server and outlook

Is there a way to have outlook setup on my pc but have emails also stay on webmail server so I can access it from other computers? Outlook works fine but if I login to webmail from a different computer that doesn't have outlook setup, there is no emails there. Can I have emails stay on webserver and also go to my outlook?

Hi, and thanks and getting in touch with us!

All you need to do to switch from POP3 to IMAP is adjust the settings in your email client. This is usually listed under something like user settings, account settings, or email settings-- it varies from one email client to the next. Please check our Email: Getting Started Guide for more information on your specific client. 


Keep in mind that in some email client configurations, you may need to manually set port numbers: POP3 and IMAP use different ports!
