Other points of interest:

- You can choose between POP3 delivery and IMAP. If you do not know the difference between the two, we suggest you choose POP3. IMAP allows you to see if you have any large file attachments before downloading mail. If you use IMAP, be sure to set a folder for offline download.

- Domain Clients: To pick up mail for you@yourdomain.com, simply change the mail server username to "you%yourdomain.com"
