The Best Way to Manage Lycos Email on Mobile
Using your Lycos inbox on your phone? Clean Email’s full-featured mobile apps for iOS and Android let you clean, organize, and automate everything from your device—no need to switch to desktop.
Start with Cleaning Suggestions to remove common clutter like social notifications or newsletters.
Then dig into Smart Folders to clean up groups like Seasonal Sales or Food Delivery in seconds.
The Screener tool is perfect for mobile users—new senders don’t interrupt your day unless you approve them. You’ll only get the emails you actually want to see.
And with Cross-Device Sync, every action you take on mobile reflects in your Lycos inbox, whether you’re using Apple Mail, Thunderbird, or anything else.
If you're on the go a lot, Clean Email’s mobile apps are a lifesaver. You’ll get the same powerful features as the desktop version, optimized for smaller screens. It’s like having a full inbox assistant in your pocket, available anytime and anywhere.
Points to Remember
💡 Note: To access your email account using POP or IMAP, you must have a Lycos Mail Plus membership.
If you want to save your storage quota and access all of your emails in one place, POP can be a decent solution. POP works by manually or automatically downloading or "popping" copies of your email messages from your Lycos Mail account to one specific place, such as your home or office computer.
Moreover, the downloaded messages are removed from the Lycos Mail server unless you choose to keep a copy in your Lycos Mail account via your mail client settings.
Please let us know, and we’ll fix them immediately.
