Automatic

If you select automatic Hexamail will attempt to look up the account settings using autodiscovery services and its database of common account details. Choose manual setup if your server does not support autodiscovery, you have not configured the required DNS entries for auto discovery or you use a bespoke mail server solution on your network

Example interface:

Default:on

Manual

This allows you to manually specify the settings for the email account

Example interface:

Server

Each account can be downloaded from a separate server. Be sure to fill in the correct server details for each account. POP3 is usually collected from port 110, IMAP from port 143. Remember to use the server name not IP if collecting using SSL as the SSL encryption certificate must match the server name.

Example interface:

Example:pop3.yahoo.co.uk, port 110

Username

Check with your email account service provider what to use as the username. Sometimes it is the entire email address.

Example interface:

Example:login

Authentication

The authentication type for this account
