  6. Introduction Setting up email accounts on popular email clients such as Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple Mail (Mac Email), and Eudora requires accurate email server details, port numbers, and SSL settings. This article provides the necessary information to help you configure your email accounts on these clients.

  7. Email Server Details The incoming and outgoing mail servers for your email accounts are typically in the format of "mail.yourdomain.com." Replace "yourdomain.com" with your actual domain name. For example:

  • Incoming mail server: mail.yourdomain.com
  • Outgoing mail server: mail.yourdomain.com
  1. Port Numbers Email clients use specific port numbers to communicate with mail servers. The default port numbers for various protocols are:
  • Incoming mail port: 110 for POP3, 143 for IMAP
  • Outgoing mail port: 25 (If port 25 does not work, try port 26 or 587, as some ISPs block port 25.)
  1. SSL Settings To configure your email accounts without SSL encryption, leave the SSL checkboxes unchecked. However, it's highly recommended to use SSL/TLS encryption for better security. The default port numbers for SSL/TLS encrypted connections are:
  • Incoming mail port: 995 for POP3, 993 for IMAP
  • Outgoing mail port: 465 for SMTP

When using SSL/TLS encryption, make sure to check the SSL or TLS option in your email client's settings.

  1. Additional Settings The outgoing mail server requires authentication. Use the same username and password as your incoming mail server.
  1. Conclusion By using the correct email server details, port numbers, and SSL settings, you can successfully configure your email accounts on popular email clients such as Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple Mail (Mac Email), and Eudora. Make sure to refer to your email provider's documentation or support resources for any provider-specific settings.
