How to configure my email client?

Last update: Jun 02, 2025 1 min read

To configure your email client automatically, go to your Site Tools > Email > Accounts  > Manage Email Accounts section. Choose the email account and click the Actions menu > Mail Configuration. You can then download our auto-config tool for a one-click setup.

Alternatively, you can take the settings from the Manual Settings tab if the auto-config tool is not compatible with your mail client. The email settings you should use are:

  • Username: enter your full email address as a username, i.e. username@yourdomain.com. It should be used both for the incoming and outgoing connection
  • Password: Use the email account’s password
  • Incoming Server: check the exact server name to use with each of your mail accounts with your mail client in the Manual Settings tab
  • IMAP Port: 993. For POP3 – just change the port to 995 (It is not recommended to use POP3 as this would remove the emails from the server and store them only on one local device)
  • Outgoing Server: check the exact server name to use with each of your mail accounts with your mail client in the Manual Settings tab
  • SMTP Port: 465
