You can use either webmail, IMAP/SMTP, or Exchange/ActiveSync to access your mail. Optionally you can store your contacts on this box too.
-You can access your email using webmail, desktop mail clients, or mobile apps.
+Here is what you need to know for webmail:
+Your username and password are the same no matter how you check your mail:
-| Webmail Address: | https://{{hostname}}/mail |
|---|---|
| Username: | Your whole email address. |
| Password: | Your mail password. |
| Username: | Your whole email address. |
|---|---|
| Password: | Your mail password. |
On mobile devices you might need to install a “mail client” app. We recommend K-9 Mail. On a desktop you could try Mozilla Thunderbird.
+Configure your device or desktop mail client as follows:
+Your webmail site is https://{{hostname}}/mail.
-| Server Name: | {{hostname}} |
|---|---|
| Username: | Your whole email address. |
| Password: | Your mail password. |
Edit your contacts at https://{{hostname}}/cloud.
+| Protocol | Port | Options |
|---|---|---|
| IMAP | 993 | SSL |
| SMTP | 587 | STARTTLS |
| Exchange ActiveSync | n/a | Secure Connection |
Depending on your mail program, you will use either IMAP & SMTP or Exchange ActiveSync. See this list of compatible devices for Exchange ActiveSync.
+This method is preferred on Android devices and is not available on iOS devices.
-Mail-in-a-Box uses greylisting to cut down on spam. The first time you receive an email from a recipient, it may be delayed for ten minutes.
+| Server: | {{hostname}} | |
|---|---|---|
| Protocol | Port | Options |
| IMAP | 993 | SSL |
| SMTP | 587 | STARTTLS |
In addition to setting up your email, you’ll also need to install an app like CardDAV-Sync free beta to store your contacts on your box.
+On iOS devices and devices on this compatibility list, set up your mail as an Exchange or ActiveSync server:
+ +| Server | {{hostname}} |
|---|---|
| Options | Secure Connection |
Your contacts should be automatically synced to this box when you use this method.
