  2. Account Settings edit
  3. To avoid data loss, please use caution any time you change an email account’s connection type or delete an email account. Removing an email account from a mail client also will remove all messages associated with it on the device and, specifically in the case of POP accounts that are not configured to retain mail on the server, there may be no way to recover those messages. If you have any doubt or questions, please contact Heroic Support® for guidance.
Note: You cannot edit an existing email account to switch its account type from POP3 to IMAP or vice versa. To change the account type, you must add a new account of the desired type (POP3 or IMAP) per the Add or edit the email account instructions above. Adding a new account with a different connection type should not require you to delete the old one in most mail clients.

Step #5: Configure General Settings

Non-SSL Account Settings

  • Your Name is your name as you want it to appear in emails that you send
  • Email Address should be the full email address
  • Account Type will be POP3 or IMAP, depending on your preference. For its ability to keep email in sync across multiple devices (desktop, laptop, phones and tablets), IMAP generally is recommended.
  • Incoming mail server
    • When using standard (non-SSL) settings, use mail.yourdomainname.com
    • When using secure (SSL) settings, use the server’s hostname (host.yourdomainname.com)
  • Outgoing mail server (SMTP)
    • When using standard (non-SSL) settings, use mail.yourdomainname.com
    • When using secure (SSL) settings, use the server’s hostname (host.yourdomainname.com)
  • User Name is your full email address, not just the part before the at symbol.
  • Password is the email account password.
  • Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) must not be checked. SPA is not the same as SMTP authentication, which is used on cPanel servers.

 

Step #6: Configure Outgoing Server Settings

  1. Click the More Settings button, and select the Outgoing Server tab.Outgoing Server Settings - SMTP Authentication
    • My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication should be checked
    • Use same settings as my incoming mail server should be enabled
    • Log on to incoming mail server before sending mail (POP3 only) should not be enabled. That setting applies only to servers configured to allow POP Before SMTP authentication, in which a successful login to retrieve mail allows a user from the same IP address to also send mail for a period of time. It is not compatible with servers requiring SMTP authentication.
  2. Now select the Advanced tab at the top of the More Settings window.
