Our standard and premium SEAMAIL mailboxes offer both POP3 and IMAP connections for accessing your email from various devices. We strongly recommend using IMAP for the following benefits:

Synchronized Experience: IMAP allows multiple devices (phone, tablet, computer) to connect to the same mailbox simultaneously. Changes made on one device (like deleting a message) will automatically reflect on all others.

Understanding Setup Variations: Different devices and email clients may have slightly different terminology or setup processes. Refer to your device's or program's help section for specific instructions, but here's the essential information you'll need:

Account Setup
