Unless otherwise specified, all mailboxes use the same server settings for using the SMTP, POP3, IMAP protocols and their respective secure and encrypted variants SMTPS, IMAPS and POP3S.
All server names for both outgoing SMTP and incoming POP3 or IMAP mail refer to the hostname: mail.hostalo.it
We comply with the specific RFC standards of the relevant protocols and the respective TCP ports which you can view below:
SMTP : 25 or 587
SMTPS : 465
POP3 : 110
POP3S : 995
IMAP : 143
IMAPS extension : 993
For secure protocols, the recommended encryption type is TLS or SSL depending on the client.
It is recommended that you set up your email clients with a secure configuration using secure protocols, especially if you frequently connect to other people's wireless networks that may be potentially unsecure.
Regarding the difference between IMAP and POP3 protocols, we invite you to read the following FAQ: What is the difference between IMAP and POP3?
The recommended mail parameters are as follows:
| Email provider | IMAPS settings | POPS settings | SMTPS settings |
| Managedserver.it | Server: mail.hostalo.it
Port: 993 Encryption: SSL |
Server: mail.hostalo.it
Port: 995 Encryption: SSL |
Server: mail.hostalo.it
Port: 587 or 465 Encryption: TLS / STARTTLS or SSL |
