How to set up your email account (IMAP / POP3)
Server names, ports, and SSL settings to connect CR Servers mailbox accounts in desktop or mobile email apps.
Use these settings after you create a mailbox in your hosting control panel.
Recommended: IMAP
IMAP keeps mail on the server so you can read it from multiple devices.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Incoming server | mail.YOURDOMAIN.com (or the hostname shown in the welcome email / panel) |
| Incoming port | 993 with SSL/TLS |
| Outgoing (SMTP) server | Same as incoming |
| Outgoing port | 465 with SSL, or 587 with STARTTLS |
| Username | Full email address (you@YOURDOMAIN.com) |
| Password | Mailbox password |
Alternative: POP3
POP3 downloads mail to one device and may remove it from the server depending on client settings. Prefer IMAP unless you have a specific reason to use POP3.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Incoming port | 995 with SSL/TLS |
| SMTP | Same as IMAP above |
Tips
- Enable SSL/TLS — do not send passwords in plain text.
- If the domain is new, wait for DNS (especially MX) to propagate before testing.
- Spam filtering and authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) improve deliverability — see related articles.
