Setting up an email account
We have configured our servers so that modern email programmes (clients) can automatically detect the necessary settings using your login details (email address and password). This means that, as a rule, you should not need to make any manual adjustments to set up your email account.
However, if you wish to - or even need to - set up your mailbox manually, please use the following settings.
How to set up your account manually
1. Email address and password for authentication
You always log in using the following credentials:
- Username: Your main email address, e.g.:
max.example@mailbox.org - Password: Your mailbox password
2. Incoming mail server, ports and encryption
| Protocol | Server | Port | Connection security | Authentication method |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IMAP | imap.mailbox.org | 993 | SSL/TLS | Your mailbox password |
| POP3 | pop3.mailbox.org | 995 | SSL/TLS | Your mailbox password |
3. Outgoing mail server, ports and encryption
| Protocol | Server | Port | Connection security | Authentication method |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SMTP | smtp.mailbox.org | 465 | SSL/TLS | Your mailbox password |
| SMTP (alternative) | smtp.mailbox.org | 587 | STARTTLS | Your mailbox password |
Setting up external email accounts
In the mailbox webmail client, you can set up external email accounts from other providers such as GMX, web.de or mail.de.
Our article Integrating external email accounts explains exactly how to do this.
