Add/setup email account on Outlook 2016

This tutorial will show you how to set up a JetHost PRO email account on Outlook 2016

POP3 stands for Post Office Protocol, and was designed as a simple way to access a remote email server. The most recent version is POP3, and is supported by virtually all email clients and servers. POP works by downloading your emails from your provider's mail server and then marking them for deletion there. This means you can only ever read those email messages in that email client, on that computer. You will not be able to access any previously downloaded emails from any other device, or with any other email client, or through webmail.

IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol, and was designed specifically to eliminate the limitations of POP. IMAP allows you to access your emails from any client, and any device, and webmail login at any time, until you delete them. You are always seeing the same emails, no matter how you access your provider's server. You can also use different devices and email/webmail clients to access the same mailbox and check, send and receive email, which is not available with POP3 connection.
Since your email is stored on the provider's server and not locally, you may run into email storage limits, when using IMAP.

3. Enter mailbox and server details:

Your Name - the name you would like the recipients of your emails to see
Email Address - your full email address
Password - password for your email mailbox

Incoming mail server: imap.stackmail.com or pop3.stackmail.com
Outgoing email server: smtp.stackmail.com
Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA): should be unchecked
