SMTP is an abbreviation that stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. This protocol allows applications to transmit email messages over the Internet.
Basically, SMTP handles your outgoing mail. Your email application connects to your mail server via SMTP and sends the messages. Receiving emails, however, utilises two other different protocols - POP3 or IMAP. In order to prevent spam from being sent via our mail servers, we require SMTP authentication. This means that you have to enter your full email address as username and your email account password if you want to use our email server to send messages.

POP3 stands for Post Office Protocol revision 3. This protocol handles the receiving of email messages from your mail server.
It is important to know that if you access your email account via POP3, once your messages are download to your local computer, they are removed from the server. This makes it impractical if you would like to read your email on more than one place/computer. In such cases, we recommend that you setup to receive your mail via IMAP. For more information on that matter, check out our article on What is IMAP.

Both POP3 and SMTP are protocols for handling your email over the Internet. The difference between them is that the SMTP protocol handles sending new emails, while POP3 takes care of receiving emails. For more information on that matter, take a look on our articles What is SMTP and What is POP3.

The IMAP abbreviation stands for Internet Message Access Protocol and is one of the two most popular protocols for receiving email messages from the Internet (the other one is POP3).
The main benefit of the IMAP protocol is that you can receive your email on more than one computer because once the message is received it remains on the email server. As an additional feature IMAP supports the usage of flags to define the state of the message - whether it has been read, replied to or deleted. Although these flags are stored on the server, note that different email clients handle them differently.
