Alternate e-mail configuration settings
General Settings
The exact steps to set up your email client differ based on the client. In general you will need the following information. This assumes that you've created a Bravenet email address in the email tab of your account already.
Incoming Mail Servers
IMAP
Configuration (Recommended):
- IMAP Server: mail.bravehost.com
- IMAP Port: 143
- 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:
- IMAP Server: mail.bravehost.com
- 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
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.
Configuration (Recommended):
- POP3 Server: mail.bravehost.com
- 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: mail.bravehost.com
- 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: mail.bravehost.com
- 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.
- This outgoing mail server requires authentication
Alternative Configuration:
- SMTP server: mail.bravehost.com
- 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 managed by logging into webmail.bravehost.com, as well as software that supports managesieve.
Most email setups will not need this.
- ManageSieve Filter: mail.bravehost.com
- ManageSieve Port: 4190
- 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.
