Step 3 Review Email Settings (if applicable)

Bravenet offers the following IMAP email configuration settings.

We recommend using IMAP over POP as IMAP is more modern, has more features and supports today's email clients better. You generally don't need to understand or configure these settings as Apple does a great job of selecting the correct settings for you when running their setup wizard.

IMAP/SMTP Settings

Incoming (IMAP)
	General	Alternative
Email Protocol:	IMAP	IMAP
IMAP Server:	mail.bravehost.com	mail.bravehost.com
IMAP Port:	143	993
Encryption Method:	TLS/StartTLS	SSL
Username:	user@yourDomain.com	user@yourDomain.com
Encryption Method:	Webmail Password	Webmail Password

Outgoing (SMTP)

Currently the native Apple Mail app setup wizard for IMAP (iOS 15.6.1 (2022)) uses a combination of our General and Alternative settings as follows:

• For IMAP the app uses SSL on port 993
• For SMTP the app uses SSL on port 587
