Important Setup Hints
- DETAILS are critical when setting up email. One typo will cause it to fail! Be careful when entering your information and if it fails, double and triple check the settings as that will be the problem 100% of the time.
- IMAP - When given a choice always choose IMAP type of email. NOT POP, ActiveSync or MobileSync. ONLY IMAP!
