IMAP Settings

SMTP Settings
For sending email:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Server | mail.yourdomain.com or server hostname |
| Port | 587 (TLS) or 465 (SSL) |
| Authentication | Required |
Using mail.yourdomain.com
If using mail.yourdomain.com instead of server hostname:
- DirectAdmin → Domain Setup → Create subdomain: mail
- SSL Certificates → mail.yourdomain.com → Let's Encrypt
Troubleshooting
- Authentication failed: Use full email as username
- Certificate error: Complete mail subdomain setup or use server hostname
- Can't connect: Check firewall blocking port 993
IMAP vs POP3
- IMAP: Syncs across devices, leaves mail on server
- POP3: Downloads to one device, removes from server
Use IMAP for accessing email from multiple devices.
