IMAP / POP3 parameters for Aruba email
To configure Aruba mail in an email management program or app, you first need to decide which protocol to use for the configuration, choosing between IMAP e POP3.
If you are not aware of it, know that the protocol IMAP (which is what I recommend you to use) is the most modern one, as it allows the use of the same account on multiple devices at the same time, keeping messages synchronized (both incoming and outgoing) on all workstations.
The protocol POP3, on the other hand, it is older and requires the use of the e-mail service on a single device, in fact it deletes messages from remote servers as soon as they are downloaded (except for the activation of special backup functions).
With that distinction, what you need to know are the configuration parameters IMAP o POP3: you can find them indicated below both as regards the e-mail boxes linked to the domain (of the type username@domainname.ext) and for e-mail boxes of the type @ aruba.com o @ technet.com.
