Setting Up POP or IMAP for your Microsoft Email Address

Here's the lowdown: You can retrive email from several Microsoft Email addresses in Outlook. Only one email address can be configured to use Exchange, however. Set up additional email addresses as POP or IMAP accounts.

If you have multiple Exchange email addresses, you may want to add your second and subsequent addresses as POP or IMAP addresses in our Outlook 2007 client. This allows you to retrieve email from a remote server through your email client for multiple Exchange addresses. You can access the email messages in your email account by configuring your email client with our POP or IMAP settings.

    NOTE: When you POP your email it downloads from the server to your email client. If you want to keep a copy of your email messages on the server, in the Delivery section, select "Leave a copy of messages on the server." To properly manage your storage space, we highly recommend that you indicate if you want to remove messages after a certain number of days, or when deleted from your Deleted Items folder.
