In order to check mails from the email account of type [email protected], you need to use IMAP or POP settings for mail clients. IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) and POP (Post Office Protocol) are the two standard email protocols used worldwide to fetch mails from remote server over an TCP/IP connection. Well, this is what theory says that if you want to fetch emails from your site’s server, you can use either of these protocols to do so.
On Windows, you can use software like Mozilla ThunderBird, Outlook (Microsoft Office) etc. to check mails from your IMAP or POP email accounts. But if you don’t want to use your computer to check these mails and if you’re looking forward to check these emails on your mobile phone or tablet, this article is for you. In this post, I’ll show, how you can easily get IMAP or POP emails with notifications on iPad and Windows Phone. Here is how:
