# Configuring an Email Client

You can connect your DigitalFyre email account to any standard email client (Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, mobile apps, etc.) using the settings below.

## Connection Settings

Replace `example.com` with your actual domain name.

| Setting             | Value                                              |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| **Incoming (IMAP)** | `mail.example.com`                                 |
| **IMAP Port**       | `993` (SSL)                                        |
| **Incoming (POP3)** | `mail.example.com`                                 |
| **POP3 Port**       | `995` (SSL)                                        |
| **Outgoing (SMTP)** | `mail.example.com`                                 |
| **SMTP Port**       | `587` (STARTTLS) or `465` (SSL)                    |
| **Username**        | Your full email address (e.g. `hello@example.com`) |
| **Password**        | The password set when creating the mailbox         |
| **Authentication**  | Required                                           |

<Info>
  We recommend IMAP over POP3. IMAP keeps your mail synced across all devices, while POP3 downloads and removes mail from the server.

## SSL Certificate

Your mail server uses a valid SSL certificate. When setting up your client, ensure **SSL/TLS** is enabled for both incoming and outgoing connections to avoid security warnings.

## Troubleshooting

If your email client cannot connect:

* Double-check the username is your **full email address**, not just the local part
* Confirm the password is correct by logging into Webmail first
* Ensure your email client is not blocking the connection due to an untrusted certificate — this should not occur with SSL enabled
