Please note: While we do provide email setup support articles in our FAQ, our Technical Support team are unable to provide support for third-party email software. We recommend contacting the software vendor for troubleshooting issues with these applications. Click here for the Mac Apps Support page.

  5. Under Incoming Mail Server, change the Port number to 993 for IMAP or 995 for POP. And ensure User TLS/SSL is enabled.
