Why Use IMAP Server Settings?

Web-based email services like Mail.com require web access to use their messaging features. However, you might prefer to access your account through an email client, such as Outlook. You can do so after setting up an account with the email client.

The setup process with an email client like Mail.com requires you to enter server settings, including IMAP or POP to receive emails, and SMTP to send emails. Use the IMAP server settings listed to access your Mail.com messages and email folders from any email program or service.

Only premium Mail.com subscribers have IMAP access to their accounts. The freemail plan doesn't support IMAP or POP.

Still Can't Connect to Mail.com?

If you can't send emails through the email client, it's most likely because the Mail.com SMTP server settings are wrong or missing. SMTP settings provide the email client with the information it needs to send emails on your behalf.

An alternative is to set up your account with POP instead of IMAP. To do so, you'll need the Mail.com POP server settings. POP offers an alternative way to download Mail.com emails. However, IMAP provides the flexibility to access your email from anywhere, and sync your email account across all your devices.
