Additional Key Points to Remember
Having the right email settings at your disposal is essential to taking full advantage of the SmarshMail service. However, there are other points to remember to use SmarshMail more effectively.
Notably, the service that you formerly knew as Webmail got rebranded as OWA, which stands for "Outlook Web Access," or Outlook on the Web. You can access your messages at its new location, which is now smarshmail.com.
However, depending on how POP/SMTP has gotten configured, you might not see everything on Webmail that you do on your computer. This possibility is especially apparent if POP/SMTP has gotten set up to regularly remove data from the server.
Moreover, if you have a mail program installed, such as Microsoft Outlook or Apple Mail, you use a POP or IMAP connection. Click here to see which Outlook edition you are currently using.
💡 Note: Smarsh suggests that all basic POP/IMAP email accounts get provided via IMAP, independent of previous settings.

POP vs. IMAP Servers: How To Choose
First things first, both POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3) and IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) are Message Accessing Agent protocols that get used to retrieve messages from the mail server and deliver them to the recipient's system.
All devices and apps linked to an email account use IMAP to sync with the server and maintain a master copy. If you have multiple devices connected to the same mail account, you will mirror any changes you make on one device on all of them.
On the other hand, there is no such synchronization with POP3. Your device can download all emails from the server, and you can either delete or keep the server copy. Local device modifications, such as read/unread status and deletion, are not sent back to the server. As a result, each device that downloads an email has a copy of every message sent or received.
If you are looking for the most efficient way to sync your email, IMAP is the way to go over POP3. IMAP gets used to downloading, reading, and handling emails, while POP3 is used to download emails.
