What data do I need to set up my mail properly?

To set up your mail properly, you must have the following information :

• a user name and password
• the server names for the outgoing (SMTP) server
• the server names for the incoming (POP3 or IMAP) server
• the incoming server port used (995 for POP3 and 993 for IMAP or 143 with STARTTLS)
• the outgoing server port used (465 for SSL and 587 for STARTTLS - preferred)

If your mail programme sets a port as 25, 26 or 110 then you need to change it as those ports are from unsecured connections.

A number of settings from major mail providers listed for convenience.
This list may change over time so if you come across something that doesn't work (anymore) then please let us know so we can adjust it.
