__TOC__ ==Overview== As of 2017 we are asking customers to check and update their email server settings so that they are connecting to the correct server. Below are the details of the POP3/IMAP settings that should be set. This ensures that our customers get the best performance and privacy when collecting email from our servers.

From January 2018 we are also emailing individuals to advise them that they are using incorrect server details.
