Email accounts in external mail programs (Outlook, AppleMail, Thunderbird)
We do support IMAP / SMTP. That means you don't have to use our web mailer if you don't want to. You can easily check your mails with other email applications, such as Mozilla Thunderbird, Microsoft Outlook, Apple mail or any other mail client. Through these applications you can be more productive and your mails are even available offline. We will show you which data you need to set this up.

What is the difference between IMAP, POP3 and SMTP?
Simply put, IMAP is a connection to your email provider's server that is used to receive email. SMTP is used to send emails to other servers.
IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) means that all messages and folders are stored on your own server. This way you can access your e-mails everywhere independently. Since they are stored on your own server, you can access them later on another device.
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is used for sending e-mails. It allows an email client to connect to the server and send emails to other servers. With the correct setup, you can send email from anywhere independently.
POP3 downloads your emails locally and then deletes them from the server. This frees up storage space and the emails are not retrievable with another device.
The most common use is IMAP. Here you set up your mail accounts on desktop, mobile and other devices and can access them from anywhere. The mails stay on the server - and are secured there.

Issues with your mails
Trying to solve problems with emails can sometimes be extremely simple or extremely complicated. The best way is first to check if you are receiving mails in the web mailer. Also, if mails are being sent correctly from the web mailer. If that is the case, the issues are probably with the settings in the tool you are using. Of course, we are happy to help you with your questions. But before you contact us, please check the
