Email Client Settings (IMAP/SMTP)
Recommended Settings
Use these settings to configure any email client (Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Gmail app, etc.):
Incoming Mail (IMAP)
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Protocol | IMAP |
| Server | Your server hostname (from welcome email) |
| Port | 993 |
| Security | SSL/TLS |
| Username | Your full email address (e.g., info@example.com) |
| Password | Your email password |
Outgoing Mail (SMTP)
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Server | Your server hostname (same as incoming) |
| Port | 465 (SSL) or 587 (STARTTLS) |
| Security | SSL/TLS or STARTTLS |
| Authentication | Yes (same username/password as incoming) |
POP3 (Alternative)
If you prefer POP3 instead of IMAP:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Protocol | POP3 |
| Server | Your server hostname |
| Port | 995 |
| Security | SSL/TLS |
IMAP vs POP3: We recommend IMAP because it keeps your email synced across all your devices. POP3 downloads emails and removes them from the server.
Troubleshooting
- Authentication failed? Double-check your full email address and password
- Can't connect? Make sure you're using the correct ports with SSL/TLS
- Sending blocked? Some ISPs block port 25. Use port 465 or 587 instead
