Instead of using O2's webmail interface, you can use mobile and desktop email apps like BlueMail, Outlook, Apple Mail, or Mozilla Thunderbird. Desktop email apps offer multiple features along with quicker access, and your emails are still available on your computer or mobile phone even when you're offline.
To access your O2 account from a desktop email app or a mobile email app, you will need to configure the IMAP or POP3 and SMTP settings as shown below:
| O2 - Outgoing (SMTP) | |
|---|---|
| Server: | smtp.o2.co.uk |
| Port: | 25 |
| Security: | NONE |
| Username: | Your email address |
| Password: | Your O2 password |
| O2 - Incoming (POP) | |
|---|---|
| Server: | mail.o2.co.uk |
| Port: | 110 |
| Security: | NONE |
| Username: | Your email address |
| Password: | Your O2 password |
