Outlook and Thunderbird

  1. Choose the add email account option.
  2. Enter the email address and mailbox password.
  3. If automatic setup fails, enter the server and ports manually.
  4. Use port 993 for IMAP and port 465 for SMTP.
  5. Accept the server certificate if a warning appears.

Mobile devices

  1. Open Add account in the device's email settings.
  2. Choose IMAP as the account type.
  3. Enter the email address and mailbox password.
  4. Enter the IMAP and SMTP servers and ports 993 and 465.

Apple devices

The Client setup page in the admin panel provides an apple.mobileconfig link for automatic setup.

Notes

  • Use the mailbox password in the client, not the admin password.
  • Port 25 is for server-to-server delivery; do not use it in a client.
  • If authentication fails, enter the full username including @.
