For outgoing mail, **port 465 with SSL/TLS** is the standard. If your client prefers STARTTLS, **port 587** is the alternate submission port. (Don't use port 25 from a mail client — it's for server-to-server delivery and most networks block it.)

## Troubleshooting

**Webmail isn't reachable.** DNS for the mail subdomain may still be propagating — wait an hour and try again.
|
||||
**Webmail isn't reachable.** Webmail is hosted at our address — the **Webmail** button on the Email page opens it directly — so it doesn't depend on your domain or its DNS. If it doesn't load, it's almost always a temporary connection issue: try again in a few minutes or from another network, and open a support ticket if it persists.
|
||||
|
||||
**Outgoing mail is bouncing or going to spam.** Check the SPF and DKIM records. The **DKIM Management** section on the **Email Domains (DNS)** tab shows whether DKIM is configured for each of your domains.

**Client can connect on IMAP but not SMTP.** Some ISPs and corporate networks block outgoing port 587. Try sending from a different network to confirm; if the issue is your network, your ISP is the place to ask.

**Client can connect on IMAP but not SMTP.** Some ISPs and corporate networks block outgoing mail ports. If sending fails on port 465, try the alternate submission port **587** (STARTTLS); if both fail, test from a different network to confirm it's your network, and if so, your ISP is the place to ask.
