HTTPMail
HTTPMail is a mail access protocol that allows you to access and manage your mail from the server without downloading the mail.
HTTPMail provides similar functionality to IMAP, where by an Outlook Express or Outlook 2002 client can access and manage messages and folders on the server. Unlike IMAP, it does not require SMTP to send messages.
A major advantage of HTTPMail over using POP and SMTP is that it can be configured to operate over Port 80, meaning that you can access your mail through corporate firewalls.
HTTPMail settings in a glance:
| SETTINGS | VALUE |
| Icoming Mail Server Type: | HTTP |
| HTTP mail service provider: | Other |
| Incoming mail server: | http://www.yourdomain.com:8080/MEHTTPMail |
Since HTTPMail is an authenticated service, you will need to use your usual account credentials when prompted (ie: User@domain.com).
