Because server settings can vary depending on your provider, this guide outlines the general configuration you’ll need.

IMAP Settings

  • IMAP Port: 993
  • Encryption: SSL is required

SMTP Settings

Depending on your email provider, SMTP can use different ports. We recommend trying them in the following order:

  • Port 465
    • Use SSL
  • Port 587
    • Use STARTTLS
  • Port 25 (less common)
    • Use STARTTLS

Troubleshooting: X509 Errors

If you see an X509 error, it likely means the domain name you're using doesn't match the mail server's certificate (often due to a self-signed certificate or a mismatch in domain and host names).

To resolve this:

  • Enable the "Insecure SSL" option for IMAP, SMTP, or both, depending on which one is causing the error.
