When To Use 1&1 Imap And Pop Settings?
If you’d be given cooked food, would you still choose to make your own food going to all the hassle without any need? No, Right! The same is the case for IMAP and POP settings. Technology has advanced in a way that everyone can enjoy everything without making any effort. Mostly, when you add a new email to your device, you don’t need to enter all these settings manually.
Email programs configure all these settings automatically unless you want to make some changes to it or facing issues.
