Many of our customer do not have their own internal mail server. If you don't have a mail server and still would like to use the SPAM & Phishing Blocker, please read on...

Since you do not have an internal mail server like "Exchange", you will need to have a POP account. There are many free email services like Gmail from Google. After creating an account with Gmail, you will need to enable "POP"

***Information provided by GMAIL***
You can retrieve your Gmail messages with a client or device that supports POP, like Microsoft Outlook or Netscape Mail.

To enable POP in your Gmail account:

Log in to your Gmail account.
Click Settings at the top of any Gmail page.
Click Forwarding and POP in the orange Mail Settings box.
