EMAIL PROTOCOLS
All
email services provided different companies may be accessible through webmail
or an email client such as Microsoft Outlook or Apple Mail. This article will get you familiar with some of
the basics of configuring email for an email client and provide information on
accessing your email via a web browser.
Email Protocols
How POP works
POP
(Post Office Protocol) is the older of the two methods for mail retrieval. In
the most basic sense, POP simply grabs emails from your server and downloads
them to your email client.When using POP,
emails are deleted from the server and will not be available if you attempt to
access your mail from another email client or webmail. Some email clients offer
a feature to leave a copy on the server. We have seen many email issues from
this feature being used improperly. If you decide to use POP, you can still view
these messages using the webmail client for your service.
How IMAP works
IMAP
is the preferred method of connecting to your email server. It simply displays
the contents of your mailbox as they appear on your server. Also, by default,
spam folders are configured to be IMAP-Only, meaning you will need to use an
IMAP connection in order to view and delete messages. Once again, we recommend
using an IMAP connection to both keep an eye on your Spam folder, and to make
sure you don't download email from your server that you would like to read
elsewhere.
Email Security
Many
customers travel and want to securely check their email from various locations
such as a wireless hotspot. For these customers, we offer the ability to use a
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) connection. This will allow any email client to
connect to your email service over an encrypted connection. We
encourage all of our customers to use a secure connection when possible.
Email Port Numbers
We
use the standard email ports for all of our services. Below is a list of these
commonly used ports:
Incoming Connections
- IMAP,
non-SSL: 143
- IMAP,
SSL: 993
- POP,
non-SSL: 110
- POP,
SSL: 995
Outgoing SMTP Connections
- SSL: 465
- non-SSL: 25 (or 587)
EMAIL INFORMATION
The
following will show you the information needed to configure an email client to
use your (mt) Media Temple provided email. We encourage secure connections, so
the following information is provided assuming you are making a secure IMAP
connection with SSL.
Incoming Mail Server
Your
incoming mail server:
- Example: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
- Your incoming mail server is the IP address for your server which can be found in your Server Guide.
Incoming Port
We
are making a SSL connection use port 993.
- Example: 993
Incoming SSL
We
are making a secure connection so make sure SSL is enabled for your incoming
mail settings.
- Example: Yes, SSL Enabled
Username
The
username is going to be the full email address which you or the account owner
created.
- Example: username@example.com
Password
The
password is set within the Plesk Control Panel. Be sure to use a strong
password, and change it regularly. If you need to change your password, please
do the following:
Outgoing Mail Server
Your
outgoing mail server:
- Example: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Your outgoing mail server is the IP address for your server which can be found in your Server Guide.
Outgoing Port (SMTP)
Your outgoing port numbers may need to be set manually. Since we are using a secure connection, you will use port 465.
- Example: 465
Outgoing SSL
We are making a secure connection so you will want to make sure SSL or TLS is enabled for your outgoing mail settings, just as you did for the incoming settings.
- Example: Yes, SSL Enabled
