E-mail Setup
For application-specific instructions, click here.
Your domain will have been assigned a three-character extension, normally the first three letters of your domain. Your username is the first part of your e-mail address, a period, and the extension.
IMAP
We recommend IMAP for most users. All of your messages will be stored on the server, so it's no problem to check your mail from multiple computers, and your e-mail is safe if your computer dies. You can organize your messages into multiple folders, and you'll be able to access all of your folders if you switch to a different computer or a different e-mail client.
To configure your IMAP client, use these settings:
- E-mail address: username
@yourdomain.com - Incoming (IMAP) server:
mail.slickhosting.com - Username: username
.ext (all lower-case, where ext is your three-character extension) - Password: (use the e-mail password set in the Administration Center)
- Do not use Secure Password Authentication
- Use SSL encryption on port 993 (or without encryption on port 143)
- This server does NOT support folders that contain sub-folders and messages
- See below for SMTP settings
POP3
If you only check your mail from a single computer, or you use a dialup Internet connection that isn't always online, POP3 may be a good alternative. You won't have access to any folders on the server, so you'll need to use Webmail to check your spam quarantine folder periodically.
To configure your POP3 client, use these settings:
- E-mail address: username
@yourdomain.com - Incoming (POP3) server:
mail.slickhosting.com - Username: username
.ext (all lower-case, where ext is your three-character extension) - Password: (use the e-mail password set in the Administration Center)
- Do not use Secure Password Authentication
- Use SSL encryption on port 995 (or without encryption on port 110)
- See below for SMTP settings
SMTP
Use these settings for outgoing mail:
- Outgoing (SMTP) server:
mail.slickhosting.com - Use TLS encryption on port 587, or SSL on port 465
- Use the same authentication settings as the incoming server
- Do not use Secure Password Authentication
Mac OS X Mail and iPhone should use SSL on port 587 with Password authentication.
