How to configure Windows 8 Mail manually

In Windows 8 Mail you can set up an email account manually and for that  you have to connect to your account by using the Add an account > Other account setup option. When you connect using this method, you can set up an IMAP and SMTP connection to your account. To do this, you need to manually enter your IMAP and SMTP server settings to set up your account.

Here are the correct IMAP and SMTP settings of your account with domain name:

Incoming Mail Server: mail.domain.com
Incoming Mail Server: (In case you wish to use email over SSL) servername.com
Outgoing Mail Server: mail.domain.com (server requires authentication) port 2525
Outgoing Mail Server: (In case you wish to use email over SSL) servername.com  (server requires authentication)port 465

Don't forget to replace domain.com with your actual domain and servername.com with the actual server where your account is hosted.

Setting up your email is easy when you have the right host by your side. If you need a reliable partner to help you resolve email issues and provide expert support, check out our email hosting services.
