Email Setup

What's the difference between IMAP and POP?

Show / Hide

There are two methods of fetching emails to a computer or mobile phone, one is via POP3 and the other is IMAP. Both options pull the emails from the host server to your device but do so in different ways.

OSIM typically recommends the use of IMAP plus SSL encryption for maximum security and ease of use.

I've forgotten my password. Can OSIM tell me what it is?

Show / Hide

As part of keeping your accounts secure, OSIM cannot see your existing password.

If you have forgotten the password to your website editor, email or control panel login we can do one of two things to get you access quickly and securely:

  1. Update the password for you to anything of your choosing as dictated by you.
  2. OSIM can create and provide you with a new highly secure password.

Is my chosen password secure enough?

Show / Hide

One of the best ways to protect your information and accounts from attack or hacking is to use a strong password unique to each login. 

Any password or phrase that you choose should be difficult for others to guess, even those who know you well, and do not share it with anyone.

Include these options as able for added strength and security:

  • Length of 8-10 character minimum
  • Both upper and lower case letters
  • Special characters
  • Numbers
