Yes, you can read your e-mail from the agent on your PC, as long as it is compliant with the protocols we are using.
To read your mailboxes, you can use either PoP3 or IMAP. To send e-mails, your agent has to be configured to use SMTP. As a general rule, we always use secured connections. The parameters to configure your mail agent are described below. We will use John Doe and example.com as fictive user and domain.
PoP3
-
Login: yourname@yourdomain.tld (john.doe@example.com)
-
PoP3 host: mail.yourdomain.tld (mail.example.com)
-
Port: 995
-
Encryption: SSL
-
Authentication method: plain text
IMAP
-
Login: yourname@yourdomain.tld (john.doe@example.com)
-
IMAP host: mail.yourdomain.tld (mail.example.com)
-
Port: 993
-
Encryption: SSL
-
Authentication method: plain text
SMTP
-
SMTP host : mail.yourdomain.tld (mail.example.com)
-
Port: 25 (alternate port 10025 with TLS/SSL only in case your ISP blocks port 25)
-
Server requires authentication
-
Login: yourname@yourdomain.tld (john.doe@example.com)
-
Encryption: SSL or TLS. Some user agents are able to automatically detect the type of encryption (like Kontact).
-
Authentication method: plain text
It is important that you activate the encryption. If you don't do it, you will not be able to read your mails, and our security system will block your IP address for one hour.
