Is GoDaddy email POP or IMAP?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 4:03 pm

In a word, POP.

Email on GoDaddy is POP. This means that your emails are stored on GoDaddy’s servers and are accessible by your email client (such as Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo!) just like any other email.

PRO TIP: When configuring email clients, it is important to know whether your email service uses POP or IMAP. GoDaddy email can use either protocol, but you must configure your email client correctly to connect and retrieve your messages.

IMAP is a more secure email protocol. Your emails are stored on your own computer, and are accessed through an email client that supports IMAP.

This means that your emails are not stored on GoDaddy’s servers, and are not accessible by anyone other than you. IMAP is more secure because it requires your email client to be connected to your computer in order to access your emails, which limits the chances that your emails will be accessed by a third party.
