How to set up your email with IMAP and SMTP

When you want to add your email account to a mail program like Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, or a similar program, you need to use IMAP and SMTP settings to ensure that you can send and receive emails correctly.

What are IMAP and SMTP?

IMAP is used to retrieve and synchronize emails from the server to your device. This means that your emails remain on the server and can be accessed from multiple devices.
SMTP is used to send emails from your device to the recipient’s mail server.

Use these settings to connect to IMAP:

Server: mail.yourdomain.com (replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain)
Port: 993 with SSL
Username: Your full email address, e.g. contact@yourdomain.com (replace contact@yourdomain.com with your actual email address)
Password: The password you specified when creating your email account

Use these settings to connect to SMTP:

Server: mail.yourdomain.com (replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain)
Port: 587 with STARTTLS or 465 with SSL
Username: Your full email address, e.g. contact@yourdomain.com (replace contact@yourdomain.com with your actual email address)
Password: The password you specified when creating your email account

Remember to enable encryption for both IMAP and SMTP

With these settings, your email is ready to use!
