Incoming mail server user name
The incoming mail server username is also known as the "username" or "login name" used to authenticate with the mail server when retrieving email using a mail client or email app.
The incoming mail server username is usually in the format of:
username(e.g.,johnsmith)[email protected](e.g.,[email protected])[email protected](e.g.,[email protected])
The incoming mail server username is used to identify the user account on the mail server and is required to access the email account using a mail client or email app.
