Is godaddy mail imap or pop

GoDaddy offers both IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) and POP (Post Office Protocol) access for email accounts. However, the default setting for GoDaddy email accounts is POP3.

Here's a breakdown of the differences between IMAP and POP:

POP (Post Office Protocol)

• Downloads email messages from the server to your device (e.g., computer, phone, or tablet).
• Deletes the email messages from the server after downloading.
• You can only access your email messages on the device where you downloaded them.
• Not ideal for multiple device access or syncing email across devices.

IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol)

• Allows you to access and manage your email messages on multiple devices (e.g., computer, phone, tablet) simultaneously.
• Keeps a copy of your email messages on the server, so you can access them from any device.
• Syncs your email messages across devices, so changes made on one device are reflected on others.
• Ideal for multiple device access or syncing email across devices.

To switch from POP to IMAP or vice versa, you'll need to update your email client settings. Here's how:

1. Log in to your GoDaddy account and go to the Email section.
2. Click on the gear icon next to your email account and select "Settings."
3. Scroll down to the "Account" or "Advanced" settings section.
4. Look for the "Incoming Mail Server" or "IMAP/POP Settings" section.
5. Update the "Incoming Mail Server" or "IMAP/POP" setting to IMAP (for IMAP) or POP (for POP).
6. Save your changes.

After updating your settings, you'll need to reconfigure your email client (e.g., Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail) to use the new settings.

Remember to check your email client's documentation for specific instructions on how to update the settings.
