Common Email Server Addresses (POP3 / IMAP / SMTP)
Solve common email setup errors quickly by entering the right server addresses for your preferred mail app.
Before you begin
If your email provider is not listed or the server settings are not accepted, contact them for assistance.
For support with @verizon.net email addresses, refer to the Verizon Email Retirement FAQ for more info.
POP3
- Provides reliable access to your emails on a specific computer (once they're downloaded). However, it doesn't back up your messages or sync between devices by default.
- Useful to access emails offline; however, if they are deleted there are no backups.
IMAP
- Stores your emails safely on the server and lets you access and interact with it from any device.
- Useful to access email from multiple devices, or if you want a secure backup for all emails.
Standard Email Messaging Ports
The following info applies to advanced email settings:
- Your email provider or corporate admin should provide these ports settings:
- POP3: 110
- IMAP: 143
- Secure SMTP (SSMTP): 465
- Secure IMAP (IMAP4-SSL): 585
- IMAP4 over SSL (IMAPS): 993
- Secure POP3 (SSL-POP): 99
- To use a non-standard port, add a colon (:) followed by the port number to the end of the server name.
- For example, if your incoming mail server (pop.mailserver.net) communicates via port 115, the server would be configured as pop.mailserver.net:115.
- ISP/SMTP providers:
- May need Authenticated SMTP (ASMTP).ASMTP uses some form of authentication (username/password, IP address, etc.) to verify that a sender is authorized to send messages using that particular server.
- If the provider uses an IP address or IP range for authentication, you must establish a dial-up connection to the ISP/SMTP provider. This ensures you are assigned as a valid IP address for authentication. Otherwise, attempts to send fail.
- If the provider uses a username/password combination to authenticate senders:
- The combination must be valid for both the incoming and outgoing servers.
- Some email clients do not support ASMTP that is independent of the incoming username/password. In these cases, you may not be able to retrieve email from one provider and send using another.
