In the previous post, I had discussed how IMAP/POP protocols are essential to Jaamun service. The obvious limitation imposed by this is that some email accounts wont be supported on Jaamun.
Gmail accounts on Jaamun
By default Gmail accounts are IMAP or POP3 enabled. To check these settings please follow our slideshare tutorial over here
Yahoo accounts on Jaamun
Yahoo IDs such as 'yahoo.co.in', 'yahoo.in', 'yahoo.co.uk' & even some 'yahoo.com' provide POP3 support. Other yahoo accounts such as 'ymail.com', 'rocketmail.com' etc may or may not provide POP3. Now, this POP service is not always pre-activated which means that if you wish to use Jaamun service or for that matter if you want to configure your email account on Microsoft Outlook, you might need to manually activate POP3. This has been discussed in our slideshare tutorial over here.
Nevertheless, the process of configuring POP is simple & is described here
1. Go to 'Options' (on the right hand side, top corner of your email account screen)
2. Select 'Mail Options'
3. On the left hand panel you will see 'POP & Forwarding'. Click on this link.
4. Click on 'Set up or Edit POP & Forwarding'. If your account does not support POP, you will see a message to this effect on your screen.
5. Check/Enable 'Web & POP Access'
6. Click on 'Save'
Hotmail or Live accounts on Jaamun
All hotmail accounts support IMAP. However, accounts provided by hotmail may either end in 'hotmail.com' or 'live.com'.
In case of yahoo accounts it is essential to mention the domain name (yahoo.in or yahoo.com or yahoo.co.uk) apart form selecting yahoo from the drop down list on our registration page. For instance, please take a look at the image below.
I hope this explains the IMAP/POP3 configuration part. If this post doesn't help, feel free to write to me on support@jaamun.in. I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Cheers
