Client Configuration¶
Our mailservers support IMAP, POP3 and SMTP. Additionally ActiveSync, CalDAV and CardDAV are supported if SOGo is used.
# Typ # Server hostname # Port # Encryption # Authentication
IMAP mail.example.com 143 STARTTLS Normal password / Plain
IMAPS mail.example.com 993 SSL/TLS Normal password / Plain
POP3 mail.example.com 110 STARTTLS Normal password / Plain
POP3S mail.example.com 995 SSL/TLS Normal password / Plain
SMTP mail.example.com 587 STARTTLS Normal password / Plain
SMTPS mail.example.com 465 SSL/TLS Normal password / Plain
With SOGo:
# Typ # Server hostname # Port # Encryption # Authentication
ActiveSync mail.example.com auto auto auto
Note
ActiveSync is not a complete Microsoft Exchange replacement. We recommend IMAP for most clients. ActiveSync can be useful for e.g. Android.
We recommend using SSL/TLS and plain
as authentication mechanisms (no passwords will be transferred plain text, since we use a TLS encrypted connection).
If your email client asks you for IMAP Path Prefix
, you can leave this value empty. All relevant folders are located directly in the root directory of the mailbox.
