2. How do I configure my email client?

Depending on the client, you will always find the server settings in a slightly different way. The following articles describe some of these methods for the most common clients.

2.1 Where can I find the settings in Outlook?

In Outlook, click on the "File" menu item, in the window that opens, click on "Account Settings" --> "Server Settings".

Here you can adjust the settings for the incoming and outgoing mail server.

If you are still unable to receive or send mail, open the Control Panel and select the "Mail (Microsoft Outlook) (32-bit)" option.

In these settings, click on "Email accounts" and then select the account you want to change. To do this, first click on the desired email address on the left and then either on "Change". Enter the correct server settings in this window and then click on "More settings".

First check whether the option "The outgoing mail server (SMTP) requires authentication" is selected in the Outgoing mail server tab and below that "Use the same settings as for the incoming mail server.

Then check whether the correct ports and the correct encryption are listed in the "Advanced" tab. Now click on "OK".

Finally, click on "Test account settings". If no error message is displayed here, you can click on "Next" and complete the account change.

2.3 Where can I find the setting in Apple Mail? (mac OS)

Open the system preferences and click on Internet Accounts.

Click on "Add Account" and select "Add Another Account" from the list of email providers.

Enter your email address and the associated password and click on "Login". In the window that opens, add the server address.

If receiving or sending is not possible with these settings, open the server settings behind the email address and check the following points:

  • Are the form fields for account name and password filled in or empty? These must always be filled in for correct receiving and sending. If it says "automatic" or "optional" here, you must enter the email address and password again and save.
  • Are specific ports specified for the incoming and outgoing mail server or is there a check mark on "manage automatically"? If it says manage automatically, you must remove it and specify the ports mentioned above.
  • Is the correct type of authentication selected? "Password, normal" must be selected here.
