Article summary

When you access an email account through a desktop email application such as Outlook, or MacMail, the email application will require specific information about your email account.
If utilising your mail clients automatic setup fails, you can use the below to manually setup the account:

Non-SSL Settings

  • Username: Use your email address
  • Password: Use the email account password.
  • Incoming Server: mail.yourdomain.com IMAP Port: 143
  • POP3 Port: 110
  • Outgoing Server: mail.yourdomain.com SMTP Port: 26
  • "Server Requires Authentication with username / password" should be selected
  • No SSL / TLS

SSL Settings 

  • Username: Use your email address
  • Password: Use the email account's password.
  • Incoming Server: mail.yourdomain.com IMAP Port: 993
  • POP3 Port: 995
  • SSL
  • Outgoing Server:mail.yourdomain.comSMTP Port:465
  • "Server Requires Authentication with username / password" should be selected
  • SSL

IMAP

Email access coordinates between the server and your mail application. Messages that you have read, deleted, or replied to will show up as such, both on the server and in the mail application. 
Good if you have lots of disk space 

POP3

Does not coordinate with the server. Messages that the mail application marks as read, deleted, or replied to will not show up as such on the server. This means that future mail downloads with POP3 will show all messages as unread.
Good to save space and store on own PC

Important Notes: The system requires a username and password for both inbound and outbound when using SSL. You must accept the SSL certificate, even if a warning appears. The system uses SMTP to send outgoing mail.
