Hi all. My father is using an email account provided by 2degrees (ex Snap) and I'm wondering if anyone can confirm that access is still POP only? I can't find any reference to email services on the 2degrees web site and I vaguely recall someone suggesting a while ago that 2degrees is no longer providing an email service for new broadband customers, so I guess the chance of them switching to IMAP is pretty much zero?

 

If he absolutely has to change his email address then I will recommend registering a domain name for the purpose of future-proofing, however a change of email address would be far from ideal.

Hey Alasta,

 

We do indeed have IMAP, on port 143 with SSL off, full email address as the username for authentication.

 

Thanks,
