Note: The POP3 protocol only allows for you to download your email but it will not syncronize any additional folders or contact lists you may create. Any folders created in the POP3 protocol will not appear on the MedEd Student Exchange WebOutlook. We recommend using the IMAP protocol, which allows for folder and contact synchronization with the MedEd Student Exchange server, this will allow them to be visible through the MedEd Student WebOutlook.
