Setting Up POP3/IMAP4 Messaging
If you need to connect Windows Phone 8 to a
mail system other than Microsoft, Exchange Server, Yahoo!, or Gmail,
you can do so by using a POP3/IMAP4 account. To establish connectivity
to your mail server, go to the Email+Accounts screen and perform the
following steps:
1. Tap Add an Account.
2. Scroll to and tap Advanced Setup.
3. Enter your email address.
4. Enter your password.
5. Tap Next.
6. Tap Internet Email.
7. Enter your name into the Account Name field.
8. Enter your name (as you want it to be displayed to recipients) into the Your Name field.
9. Enter your server’s fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or IP address into the Incoming Email Server field.
What’s My Domain?
Specific information about your email account’s server domain name, SMTP server, and so on should come from your email provider.
10. Tap the Account Type field and choose either POP3 or IMAP4.
11. Type your username. You can enter your username as a name (BrienP), an email address ([email protected]), or a Universal Naming Convention (BrienPosey\Brien). Universal Naming Conventions use log-in names in domain\username format.
12. Enter the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or IP address of your SMTP server.
13. If the outgoing
server requires authentication, select the Outgoing Server Requires
Authentication check box and the Use the Same User Name and Password
For Sending Mail check box.
14. Depending on your
mail server’s configuration, you might need to enable SSL encryption.
If so, tap the Advanced Settings button and then select both the
Require SSL for Incoming Mail and the Require SSL for Outgoing Mail
check boxes.
15. Tap Sign In.
