@ -12,11 +12,16 @@ URI Examples
Mailbox URIs are in the normal URI format::
protocol://username:password@domain
protocol+ssl?://username:password@domain
IMAP Example: ``imap://username:password@server``
Basic IMAP Example: ``imap://username:password@server``
Basic POP3 Example: ``pop3://username:password@server``
POP3 Example: ``pop3://username:password@server``
Most mailboxes these days are SSL-enabled; if yours is, add ``+ssl`` to your URI. Also, if your username or password include any non-ascii characters, they should be URL-encoded (for example, if your username includes an ``@``, it should be changed to ``%40`` in your URI). Example:
If you have an account named 'contemporanea' with a password of '1234' at 'google.com', you would enter the following as your URI::
pop3+ssl://contemporanea%40gmail.com:1234@pop.gmail.com
