Use manual IMAP setup when an email application cannot detect the correct mailbox settings.
Steps
- Create the mailbox first, then open its connection details in Domatic Control Panel.
- In your email app, add an account and choose manual IMAP setup if automatic discovery fails.
- Use the full email address as the username, the mailbox password, and the incoming and outgoing hostnames supplied for the service.
- Use the supplied encrypted ports. Common settings are IMAP 993 with SSL/TLS and SMTP 465 with SSL/TLS or 587 with STARTTLS, with outgoing authentication enabled.
- Test sending and receiving, then check folder synchronization.
Good to know
Do not guess a hostname from your domain or bypass certificate warnings. Menu names vary by app version. SMTP authentication normally uses the same mailbox login, but the service-provided settings are authoritative.
