Set Up IMAP - Windows Mail

For increased security, we recommend that you use our secure (SSL) servers, as detailed below. Note: If your internal system configurations require non-SSL ports, please see the "Email Server Settings" page for our full list of available servers and ports.

To set up Windows Mail for IMAP, perform the following steps:

1. In Windows Mail, select “Tools” / “Accounts.”
2. Click the “Add” button.
3. Click the “Next” button.
4. Enter your first and last name. This is the name that will appear in the “From” field of messages you send.
5. Click the “Next” button.
6. Enter your entire email address (e.g., myname@mydomain.com).
7. Click the “Next” button.
8. Enter the following information:
    
   • Incoming e-mail server type—Select “IMAP” from the drop-down menu.
   • Incoming mail (POP3 or IMAP) server—Enter the secure server name:
      
     secure.emailsrvr.com
   • Outgoing e-mail server (SMTP) name—Enter the secure server name:
      
     secure.emailsrvr.com
   • Check the “Outgoing server requires authentication” box.
      
     
9. Click the “Next” button.

11. Enter the password for your email account.
12. Leave the “Remember password” box checked, if desired.
13. Click the “Next” button.
14. In the "Congratulations" window, if you don’t want to download all your messages, check the box labeled “Do not download my e-mail at this time.” Otherwise, you can leave this setting unchecked.
15. Click the “Finish” button.
16. The account you just created will be selected. Click the “Properties” button.
17. Click the “Advanced” tab.
18. Check both “This server requires a secure connection (SSL)” boxes.
