How to configure my e-mail client?

In this article you will find the settings required for the services of Yourwebhoster.eu. We recommend checking the manual of your e-mail client to configure your e-mail client using these settings.

The basic settings:

Mail server username

bob@domain.com

Outgoing mail server (requires authentication)

mail.domain.com

Incoming mail server

mail.domain.com

Supported outgoing mail protocols

SMTP

Recommended incoming mail protocols

IMAP

Use authentication for SMTP. The authentication details are similar to the inbox username and password.

For advanced users

Protocols

There are several protocols available for downloading your e-mails: IMAP and POP3. We recommend to use IMAP as this method is the most use-friendly and has the most features.

We recommend using the imap protocol and not pop3. With imap emails get synchronised on all devices (including read, deleted, moved, etc). While with pop3 everything gets downloaded and by default deleted from the server. If you lose your device, you lose your email. With imap we have a copy of the emails on our servers.

IMAP features (reading e-mails)

• Synchronise e-mails: mark an e-mail read on one device and synchronise this with all your devices. Or move an e-mail to a different folder at once for all devices.
• Stored securely on the server. Your e-mails are still available, even when your computer crashed.

POP3 features (reading e-mails)

• E-mails can be deleted after downloading. This saves up space.
• Not useful in case multiple devices or users are connected to the same POP3 account and there is no backup.

SMTP (sending e-mails)

• You can send encrypted and unencrypted e-mails through SMTP.

Server

Your can use mail.domain.com or domain.com as server name. When you get a SSL certificate error, please make sure to request a free wildcard SSL certificate and make sure it is activated for the mail service as well.
