    • Server Information
      • Account Type: Select POP3 or IMAP
      • Incoming & Outgoing mail server: You can obtain this information from your Email Dashboard. In Dashboard go to Mail > DNS Configuration and POP/IMAP/SMTP records. Or if you are using our DNS service for your domain then you can use: Incoming Mail Server: pop.your-domain-name (eg: pop.demomonkey.org)

  • Click OK and then Next
IMPORTANT

Usually, the port used for the Outgoing Mail Server/SMTP Service is 25. However, there might be a situation where your ISP might be blocking the use of port 25 for SMTP service. Many ISPs block port 25 in order to minimize the amount of spam sent using their network. If you are facing issues sending mails using the default port 25, you can confirm with your ISP whether port 25 is indeed blocked by them.

To circumvent this, you can use an alternate port 587 for sending mails if port 25 is blocked. Here's how:

a) In the Tools menu select Options -> Mail Setup and click Email Accounts
b) Select your account and click Change above the list of accounts
c) Click More Settings and then the Advanced tab
d) In the Outgoing server(SMTP) field replace the default port number 25 with the alternate port number 587
e) Click Ok -> Next -> Finish -> Close and then Ok to save the changes
