You have just created an email address through the DirectAdmin control panel and would like to add it to your favorite email program/app. Use the following settings. We recommend that you choose IMAP when asked the question IMAP or POP. With IMAP, mails are synchronized with the server. This keeps all your mails synchronized on all your devices.
Incoming mail #
| Server / hostname | mail.yourdomainname |
| Username | Your email address |
| Password | The password you set |
| Gate | 993 or 143 |
| Encryption | SSL |
| Password verification required (SPA) / identity verification | From |
Outgoing mail #
| Server | mail.yourdomainname |
| Username | Your email address |
| Password | The password you set |
| Gate | 465 or 587 |
| Encryption | SSL |
| Password verification required (SPA) / identity verification | from |
Comments #
- In advanced, you can often set the IMAP path or root folder. You don't need to fill in this field.
- Some programs may not be compatible with outgoing port 465 over SSL. Instead, consider using the following settings: Outgoing mail server: mail.yourdomainname, Port: 587, Security: StartTLS
- If you don't use Outlook, consider enabling Password Authentication (SPA).
Password forgotten #
Are you experiencing problems adding your account? It could be that the password you enter is not correct. You can verify this by logging into your webmail. If it doesn't work there either, consider setting a new password. Here is a guide on how to do that.
