MacMail IMAP Email Setup Guide

The following guide should help you make your way through setting up email on your computer, iPhone or iPad. There may slight be differences between my images and your phone or iPad. If you have any trouble, please don’t hesitate to let us know and we’ll be happy to walk you through it.

Username: Full email address (example: bob@drbob.com)
Hostname: secure.emailsrvr.com
Incoming Port: 993
Outgoing Port: 587 (sometimes 465 if outgoing mail is not working).
SSL: Enabled

Update Your Temporary Password

The password we’ve provided is a TEMPORARY password only; it is NOT secure. PLEASE make sure that you update it immediately. To change your email password, first log into the account via webmail.

  1. Select Settings in the upper right corner under your name
  2. Select Change Password
  3. Enter the Current Password (you were provided with this at the time of account creation)
  4. Enter the New Password of your choice
  5. Re-enter the New Password to confirm
  6. Click Save

We recommend that you always change your password before adding your email account to Outlook or a phone, that way you do not have to go back in later to change it.

Please scroll to the next page to begin setup.
