Common Email Settings for POP/IMAP connection types

[LPTechs]

You are trying to set up your email account after signing up for a new hosting plan and just can't seem to get the settings to work.

Whether you are using MAC Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook, etc; these are the settings you want to use:


Incoming Mail Server: mail.[INSERT YOUR DOMAIN NAME HERE]
Outgoing Mail Server: mail.[INSERT YOUR DOMAIN NAME HERE]
User Name: Enter the Full Email Address
Password: Enter the Password assigned to the Email Address
POP3 Port: 110 (or 995 if you are using SSL)
IMAP Port: 143 (or 993 if you are using SSL)
SMTP Port: 587 (or 465 if you are using SSL)
SSL (Secure Socket Layer): Off or None
Authentication: Password or Plain Text

looks good but it all depends on the hosting provider

One can also use server's hostname as an incoming/outgoing mail server.

When comes to MAC there should be IMAP prefix as "/". Hostname or IP address of the mail service provider is always more proper to use.

SMTP Port: 587 (or 465 if you are using SSL)

Some legacy hosts use port 25 still ...
