Overview
There are many mail clients out there that you can use with your domain hosted emails. Far too many for us to make a guide for all of them.
While we can’t make a guild for all of them, we can offer this general guide that should help you get connected.
Before you start
If you haven’t already, you will want to create an email address with your email hosting account. You can find information on that process here.
You will first need to ensure you have the correct password for the account. You can test this by trying to log into your webmail.
If you do not know your hosting service password, you can log into your hosting service and update it there.
General mail client settings
These are the settings that should work with most mail clients. You will need to set up your account using either POP or IMAP protocols.
Incoming settings
- Username – your email address
- Password – your email password
- Host/Server – mail.domain.com (where you replace domain.com with your domain)
- Incoming port – 993 for IMAP, 995 for POP
- Encryption/security – SSL or SSL/TLS
Outgoing settings
- Username – your email address
- Password – your email password
- Outgoing server – mail.domain.com (where you replace domain.com with your domain)
- Outgoing port – 465 for SMTP
- Encryption/security – SSL or SSL/TLS
Other settings
- The outgoing (SMTP) server requires authentication
- Authentication method is Password (or Normal Password)
Using these guidelines and your mail clients support forums, you should be able to configure your account on any mail client.
