What is POP, POP3 and IMAP, when I set up my email account in the HP ePrint App?

I did as much research as I can do regarding the implementation of the HP ePrint App e-mail accounts.  If you do not see your e-mail information listed here, feel free to post below or contact your internet service company provider, by phone or e-mail, or to anyone else who might know this. I am sure there are many others that could be added, but this is a pretty comprehensive list.  I hope you find what you need to complete the setup of your e-mail applications.

I noticed information differs from site to site, but as I've learned over time, masking the area and companies buying other companies, I just studied all the information that I could find and also if one of the names of hosts or ports does not work, then you can continue see below on this page to see if this information is the same. At that point, if you do not find what you need here, I would say that you have done all you can do before contacting appropriate for your information by email support team.

Most of the links is active and those listed below should send you directly the pages I pulled this information since then, but only a few of them came from the real support of the sites themselves (Apple support was vague, as well as Microsoft, Macintosh and commonly used Internet services providers). Save you time by searching here first.  I hope that you will find what you need in this one-stop-shop and if you get an email that is not listed here, please report it below and I'll add it to this original document.

Finally, as this information comes to the forum and other non-official sites, I want to add that it is a document of copy/paste/edit-for-easy-read I created in my spare time. It is a very long document, so I do is recommended to use the search and find keys to find the email that you need, but the upper part of this definition has as to what the servers, ports and are host names and the basic setup in case you need to know what are these options and their meanings.

Here are the most common settings needed to implement most of the Clients POP3/IMAP e-mail or devices:

The following information below can be found at http://www.swestcom.com/Support/q4.htm

"What is POP3?

Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3) is a standard messaging protocol used to receive e-mail from a remote server to a local e-mail client. POP3 allows you to download e-mail messages to your local computer and read them even when you're offline. »

"What does IMAP mean?

The Message IMAP (Internet Access) protocol is a messaging protocol that is used to access e-mail on a remote web server from a local client. IMAP and POP3 are the two most common of messaging Internet protocols to retrieve emails. The two protocols are supported by all e-mail clients modern and web servers.

"Main difference between IMAP and POP3:

The POP3 protocol assumes that there is only one client connected to the mailbox. On the other hand, the IMAP protocol allows simultaneous access by multiple clients. IMAP is suitable for you if your mailbox is about to be managed by several users. »

"What is SMTP?

SMTP simple Mail Transfer Protocol () is the standard protocol for sending emails across the Internet. SMTP uses TCP port 25 or 2525 and sometimes you may have problems to send your messages in case your ISP has closed port 25 (How to check if port 25 is open?). To determine the SMTP server for a given domain name, the MX (Mail eXchange) should have more information."

"When you set up:

  • POP - choose that POP-UP and the port entering the default server to 110
  • IMAP - choose IMAP and the port entering the server by default to 143
  • All other parameters are the same.
  • Username = [email protected]
  • Password = the password you set up when you set up your mailbox
  • = Incoming mail server mail.yourdomain.com
  • = Mail server outgoingsmtp.yourdomain.com
    • Outgoing requires the authentication of the server (typically found in the settings or advanced options)
    • Do NOT select "Log on using Secure Password Authentication".
    • Use the same username and password as incoming or select "use same settings as incoming.
    • Outgoing server port= 2525 or 587
      • It is subject to change according to individual preferences of your ISP.

Note - Replace with your domain name for "yourdomain.com" and replace the first part of your e-mail address for "user".

Email ports
For networks, a port means endpoint to a logical connection. The port number identifies what type of port it is. Here's the e-mail ports by default for:

  • POP3 - port 110
  • IMAP - port 143
  • SMTP - port 25
  • HTTP - port 80
  • (SSMTP) - port 465 secure SMTP Protocol
  • Secure IMAP (SSL IMAP4) - port 585
  • IMAP4 over SSL (IMAPS) - port 993
  • Secure POP3 (POP) SSL - port 995.

It is just to recap, a series of ports for people who need this information when you configure the HP ePrint app so that they could see their email from the app, I've collected over time.  I am sure that other applications also need this information.  Although long, I couldn't find a more complete place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information or other associates subject below that it is simply a collection of data and it would be virtually impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
