easyMAIL Settings And Specifications

Webmail

To access and manage your e-mail, you can log into webmail. This will allow access to filtering (vacation responses for example) and calendars (for Horde only).

Please refer to our blog post announcing our introduction of Horde and the more advanced features it offers.

—————————————————————————————–

The following are the inbound and outbound settings you will need to enable easyMail on your devices/mail clients:

Inbound

• IMAP
Server Hostname: imap.easymail.ca
Server Port: 993 or 143
Username: yourname@yourdomain (e.g., me@example.com)
Security Settings: TLS, SSL, or none
The default port for SSL-enabled IMAP is port 993.
Port 143 is not a secure port and not recommended

***OR***

• POP
Server Hostname: pop.easymail.ca
Server Port: 995 or 110
Username: yourname@yourdomain (e.g., me@example.com)
Security Settings: TLS, SSL, or none
The default port for SSL-enabled POP is port 995.
Port 110 is not a secure port and not recommended


Outbound

• SMTP
Outbound Mail Server: mailout.easymail.ca
Username: your full easyMAIL address (e.g., me@example.com)
Password: your easyMAIL password
Ports: 465, 587, 2025, 20025 (port 25 is not recommended)
TLS (optional): 465 (SSL), 587, 2025, 2026, 20025, 20026

Please be sure to have an Encryption Type (such as SSL/TLS or STARTTLS) selected in your mail programme. Oftentimes it’s necessary to try another port number to establish a successful connection.


Difference between POP and IMAP

POP (Post Office Protocol) is a one-way ticket. You connect to our easyMAIL server in a one-time pop and download a copy of your e-mail then disconnect. With a POP setup, you can’t be managing your easyMAIL via multiple devices (mobile smartphone, laptop, tablet, etc). There is no two-way synchronisation between easyMAIL and your device. You have to delete or file the same email on every device.

IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is the two-way e-mail management preferred by users with multiple devices (mobile smartphone, laptop, tablet, etc). If you are viewing your e-mail via your mobile phone, then it will show as viewed on any other device you check your mail through. All e-mail management is synchronised cutting downtime if you happen to check e-mail from multiple devices.

Quota Enforcement Policy

easyMAIL quota is set to 250 messages/recipients per day [24 hour period] by default – you can purchase more if needed. This is calculated on a per-user [mailbox] basis, not on an aggregate per-domain basis. Each evening we reset the counter back to zero for each mailbox – midnight UTC (click here to know when in your time zone).

NOTE: To use easyMAIL with other DNS providers, please specify our easyMAIL MX record within your DNS settings:

MX.EASYMAIL.CA
Pref: 0

This server is not to be used for IMAP or POP connections, ONLY for the MX record.
