Email Client Configuration Settings
Instructions to configure your email account with your email client e.g. Apple Mail App, Microsoft Outlook, etc.
- Server Type: Select either POP or IMAP (POP will download mail off the server, IMAP syncs emails & keeps the folder structure in sync with webmail). IMAP is recommended, but if you prefer you can use POP.
- Username: Enter your email address – the whole thing including @yourdomain.com as provided.
- Password: Enter the password that was set up for your e-mail account – your password can be changed, see below under mailbox login. If possible always copy and paste passwords.
- Incoming mail server: Enter imap.dreamhost.com or pop.dreamhost.com as your incoming mail server
- Outgoing mail server: Enter smtp.dreamhost.com as your outgoing mail server
- Authentication: Make sure that “My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication” is checked.
- Encryption: Select/enable SSL/TLS for both incoming and outgoing – Secure Password Authentication (SPA) is not supported, so make sure to turn off/uncheck the SPA option for both incoming and outgoing settings
- Ports: For IMAP, set the incoming port to 993 and the outgoing port to either 465 or 587.
