Mail App Settings (IMAP and SMTP)
The exact server name for your account is on the Mail app setup tab of the Email page. It's usually mail.cdnshark.com.
Incoming mail (IMAP)
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Server | as shown on the Mail app setup tab (e.g. mail.cdnshark.com) |
| Port | 993 |
| Security | SSL/TLS |
| Username | your full email address |
| Password | your mailbox password |
Outgoing mail (SMTP)
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Server | the same server name |
| Port | 465 with SSL/TLS, or 587 with STARTTLS |
| Authentication | Required: same username (full email address) and password |
Tips
- Choose IMAP when your app asks for the account type: your mail stays on the server and is in sync on all your devices.
- If your app asks, turn on "My outgoing server requires authentication" and use the same details as incoming.
- Port 25 is for server-to-server mail and won't work for sending from your app.
- Use the server name, not an IP address, or your app will warn about the certificate.
