Credentials

Use the complete email address (for example user@example.com) as the username and that mailbox’s password. Enable SMTP authentication using the same credentials.

  1. Enter your full email address as the username for both incoming and outgoing servers.
  2. Enter the mailbox password and enable authentication for the outgoing SMTP server.
  3. If the app asks for separate incoming and outgoing passwords, use the same mailbox password for both.
Your customer portal password and mailbox password are separate. POP3 is currently unavailable; use IMAP.

Test the connection

Send a test message to yourself and verify that it is sent and received. If it fails, check the hostname, port, encryption and full email address.

  1. Send a test message to yourself and check Sent and Inbox.
  2. If sending fails, check SMTP authentication and the 465/SSL-TLS or 587/STARTTLS pairing.
  3. If sign-in fails, check the full address and mailbox password; ask your organization’s administrator if needed.
