Email mail client configuration explained

There are multiple ways for your o access your email.

  1. In your smart phone
  2. Via web mail – http://www.yourdomainname.com/webmail
  3. Using your favorite email client software

Desktop mail client configuration

When you access an email account through a desktop email application such as

  • MacOS Mail.app
  • Microsoft Outlook
  • Mozilla Thunderbird

The email application will require specific information about your email account.

You can use the auto-configure options you will find inside your control panel to automatically configure your email application. If the available options are not compatible with your application, you will need to use one of the Manual Settings information below.

User Name: [email protected]
Password: Use the email account’s password.
Incoming Server: mail.yourdomainname.com

    IMAP: Port 143
    POP3: Port 110

Outgoing Server: mail.yourdomainname.com

    SMTP: Port 26

Authentication is required for IMAP, POP3, and SMTP.

Good info to know

  • IMAP email access coordinates between the server and your mail application. Messages that have been read/deleted/replied to will show up as such, both on the server and in the mail application.
  • POP3 does not coordinate with the server. Messages marked as read/deleted/replied to in the mail application will not show up as such on the server. This means that future mail downloads with POP3 will show all messages as unread.
    Outgoing mail is sent using SMTP.
