Below we have the recommended settings, we highly recommend you use SSL encryption, and the IMAP protocol, when available.


===Incoming Mail Servers===
All possible options are listed on the [[Alternate e-mail configuration settings]] page, such as using [[POP3]] and non-SSL encryption.
====IMAP====


Configuration (Recommended):
===Incoming Mail Settings===


* IMAP Server: <tt>mail.bravehost.com</tt>
* IMAP Server: '''mail.bravehost.com'''
* IMAP Port: 143
* IMAP Port: '''993'''
* Connection Security: TLS/STARTTLS
* Connection Security: '''SSL'''
* Username: the email address you are checking
* Username: The email address you are checking, ''e.g. example@somesite.com''
* Password: the password for this address. You can change this in the email tab of your Bravenet account.
* Password: The password for this specific email account.  
* Authentication Type: '''Password'''


Alternative Configuration:
===Outgoing Mail Settings===


* IMAP Server: <tt>mail.bravehost.com</tt>
Outgoing mail uses SMTP, in every situation. The information you need for that:
* IMAP Port: 993
* Connection Security:  SSL
* Username: the email address you are checking
* Password: the password for this address. You can change this in the email tab of your Bravenet account.
* Authentication Type: Password


====POP3====
* SMTP server: '''mail.bravehost.com'''
 
* SMTP port: '''465'''
[[POP3]] is an older method of checking mail.  It should only be used if your e-mail client doesn't support [[IMAP]], since POP3 doesn't support checking mail from multiple locations, and by default it doesn't store messages on the server.
* Connection Security: '''SSL'''
 
* Username: The email address you are checking, ''e.g. example@somesite.com''
Configuration (Recommended):
* Password: The password for this specific email account.
* POP3 Server: <tt>mail.bravehost.com</tt>
* This outgoing mail server requires authentication (this is an option in some email clients, which must be checked).
* POP3 Port: 110
* Connection Security:  TLS/STARTTLS
* Username: the email address you are checking
* Password: the password for this address. You can change this in the email tab of your Bravenet account.
 
Alternative Configuration:
 
* POP3 Server: <tt>mail.bravehost.com</tt>
* POP3 Port: 995
* Connection Security: SSL
* Username: the email address you are checking
* Password: the password for this address. You can change this in the email tab of your Bravenet account.
 
===Outgoing Mail Servers===
 
Outgoing mail uses SMTP. The information you need for that:
 
Configuration (Recommended):
 
* SMTP server: <tt>mail.bravehost.com</tt>
* SMTP port: 587
* Connection Security: TLS/STARTTLS (secure),
* Username: the e-mail address you are checking
* Password: the password for this address. You can change this in the email tab of your Bravenet account.

* SMTP server: <tt>mail.bravehost.com</tt>
* SMTP port: 465
* Connection Security: SSL
* Username: the e-mail address you are checking
* Password: the password for this address. You can change this in the email tab of your Bravenet account.
* This outgoing mail server requires authentication
 
===Email Filter Management===
 
Email Filters can be [[E-Mail_Filtering | managed]] by logging into webmail.bravehost.com, as well as software that supports managesieve.
 
Most email setups will not need this.
 
* ManageSieve Filter: <tt>mail.bravehost.com</tt>
* ManageSieve Port: 4190
