Windows 10: Email settings question

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could verify this for me. When I setup my PC and phone, should the setting on both be the same on both the devices when it comes to both devices:

Pop.xxxx.com
smtp.xxxx.com

one set up this way being my pc:

pop.xxxx.com
smtp.xxxx.com

and on my phone:

imap.xxxx.com
smtp.yyyy.net

or

pop.xxxx.com
smtp.yyyy.com

or

android.pop.xxxx.com
android.smtp.xxxx.com

or
android.imap,xxxx.com
android.smtp.yyyy.com

or

android.imap,xxxx.com
android.smtp.yyyy.net

Shouldnt they be identical on both pc and phone in order to work correctly?

thx

:)

 

Windows 10 retail license key

I've been looking into possibly getting Windows 10. I found retail license keys being sold on eBay for extremely cheap (under $15). It
seems like there would have to be some issue with these. However, I'm not sure what the problem could be. I've been doing some research. If I understand correctly, if it's retail then it cannot be OEM. Also, if it's retail, I understand it cannot be
a volume license key. From what I understand, it cannot be MSDN, either. If it were simply pirated, then I don't see how it could be activated as they claim it can be. What am I missing? FWIW, it comes from Europe, but claims to be valid worldwide.

(Not linking to the eBay sale as I don't want to "promote" it if there is an issue with it. But what can you suggest to me based on the little info available?)

Edit: A possibility... could it potentially be resold to other parties and activated by them, but then if I reinstall (when enough activations have been done), I will be unable to reactivate again?

 

Questions on email

When I start typing an email address in the To box, suggestions appear (from past used email addresses). How can I edit this suggestion list? ie for instance suppress email addresses?



thanks

It will depends if you want to use POP (Locally stored mail) or IMAP (server-side stored mail) (IMAP is more popular for those using email on more than one device). Whichever you choose, they will be the same setting for both device.

The exception is if the email provider uses different ports for mobile devices. However, most have changed to using the same ports and settings for all devices.
