For the email client to be configured to send and receive emails using the IMAP protocol, we must configure the IMAP settings for OVH or any email hosting provider. At Bobcares, with our Server Management Service, we can handle your OVH issues.

IMAP Settings for OVH

Setting up the email client to send and receive emails using the IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) protocol is crucial when using OVH or any other email hosting service. To access emails on a distant mail server, we can often use the IMAP.

The default IMAP settings for OVH email hosting are as follows:

IMAP Settings: Incoming Mail

IMAP Server: If we are using custom email addresses with the domain, it will often be something like “yourdomain.com.”

Port: For secure SSL/TLS connections, use port 993. utilize port 143 if we don’t wish to utilize SSL.

Username: The whole email address.

Password: The email account’s password is the password.

Security: For secure email transmission, enable SSL/TLS (Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security).

SMTP Settings: Outgoing Mail

SMTP Server: The typical SMTP server is comparable to the IMAP server, such as “yourdomain.com.”

Port: For secure SSL/TLS connections, use port 465 or port 587 with TLS/STARTTLS.

Username: The entire email address.

Password: The email account’s password.

Security: For secure email sending, use TLS or SSL.

Authentication

We can use “Normal Password” or “Password” as the authentication method.
