IMAP and POP3 are two important aspects to configure a mail address which is not from common servers, like the Google or the Yahoo or MSN. The office mails and the email accounts with some other domains which are mostly private, require configuring the settings by their own.

This configuration needs to be structured with the SSL certificate and the gateway addresses. While these details are available, then the steps to set up the IMAP and POP3 can be configured quite easily. The configuration can be known from the mother server of the email client.
With that details, where the SSL certificate, Ports and also the incoming and outgoing server address is declared, then the entire set up can be done by following the above steps. This is an advanced set up process of the email and very few email clients gives the complete support for them.

Most importantly, there is a complete guide available in the set itself, regarding the process of setting up the email and making the notification and other settings also.
