All email software and devices including Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail and Mozilla Thunderbird connect to our email servers using the exact same settings.
This article is for users who are familiar with how to use their email software, and simply want to know what settings they should use to connect to our servers.
Please note: With Apple Mail version 10.2 – there is an SMTP bug that doesn’t allow you to send emails at random times. Please research this. The quick fix is to update your Sierra OS X version to the latest version.
If you are unsure how to use your email software, we recommend reading through the ‘Email setup tutorials’ article listed under our SUPPORT tab above, for further assistance.
