Connect a mail client
Configure IMAP, POP and SMTP in your email app.
MXTerm speaks the standard mail protocols, so any client — Apple Mail, Outlook, Thunderbird, mobile apps — can connect.
What you’ll need
- Your full email address as the username.
- Your mailbox password.
- Your MXTerm server hostnames and ports (shown in the dashboard for your domain).
Incoming and outgoing
| Purpose | Protocol | Encryption |
|---|---|---|
| Receive (keep on server) | IMAP | TLS |
| Receive (download) | POP3 | TLS |
| Send | SMTP | TLS / STARTTLS |
Warning
Always use the TLS (SSL) ports. Plain, unencrypted connections expose your password and mail in transit.
Note
IMAP keeps mail synced across all your devices; POP3 downloads and (optionally) removes it from the server. Use IMAP unless you have a specific reason not to.
