Custom IMAP/SMTP setup guide

Connect any email provider that supports standard IMAP and SMTP

Server Settings

IMAP hostmail.yourdomain.com
IMAP port993 (SSL/TLS)
SMTP hostmail.yourdomain.com
SMTP port587 (STARTTLS)
AuthenticationPassword or App Password

Setup Steps

  1. 1

    Find your provider's IMAP and SMTP server settings (usually in your mail client settings or provider docs)

  2. 2

    Common patterns: imap.<domain>.com port 993 SSL/TLS, smtp.<domain>.com port 587 STARTTLS

  3. 3

    For cPanel/Namecheap: use mail.<yourdomain> for both IMAP and SMTP hosts

  4. 4

    For self-hosted Postfix/Dovecot: use your server's hostname or IP

  5. 5

    In TELVRIX, select "Custom IMAP/SMTP" and enter your settings manually

  6. 6

    Test the connection — if SSL certificate errors appear, check the "skip TLS verification" option (for self-signed certs only)

Notes

For shared hosting (cPanel/Namecheap): the host is typically mail.<yourdomain.com> for both IMAP and SMTP.

For Stalwart or other self-hosted servers: use the same hostname for both.

If you see SSL/TLS errors with a valid certificate: try changing the security setting. If you see errors with a self-signed cert, use the "skip TLS" toggle (only safe on your own server).

Known Limitations

  • All fields must be entered manually
  • Provider must support IMAP (port 993 SSL/TLS or port 143 STARTTLS)
  • SMTP must be accessible from TELVRIX's deployment environment
