MORE INFORMATION
Like POP3, the IMAP4 protocol uses port 25 (SMTP) to send mail, but an IMAP4 server uses port 143 to listen for mail.
Unlike POP3, IMAP4 allows you to store your messages by default on the server, instead of downloading them locally.
To configure Outlook as an IMAP4 client, follow these steps: Start Outlook, and on the Tools menu, click Accounts. In the Internet Accounts dialog box, click Add, and then click Mail.
Type a Display Name to identify your mail to recipients, and click Next. Example: John Doe
In the E-mail Address box, type your e-mail address, and click Next. Example: johndoe@cs.com
In the "My incoming mail server is a" box, click to select IMAP.
Type the Incoming and Outgoing server names in the appropriate boxes, and click Next. Incoming: imap.cs.com Outgoing: smtp.cs.com
NOTE: IMAP4 is a retrieval protocol. SMTP is still needed to send mail.
In the Account Name box, type your account name. Press the TAB key, type your password, and then click Next.
Example: Account Name: johndoe Password: yourCS2000logonpassword
Click to select a Connection type. If you select "Connect using my phone line," you will be given the opportunity to select an existing Dial-up Networking connection or create a new one. For CS2000 select the LAN option.
Click Next.
Click Finish.
Close Internet accounts box
Click Yes to download folders from the mailbox you added. IMPORTANT! You must run the CS2000 program and make a connection before doing this.
Click OK.
