Configuring Email Clients

You can use your SiteForge mailbox in desktop and mobile email apps such as Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, or iPhone Mail.

Use your full email address as the username and your mailbox password as the password. For mail apps, use the exact incoming and outgoing server names shown in your hosting panel under the mailbox's Email Client Settings.

In most SiteForge setups this will be your own mailbox host, for example:

  • mail.yourdomain.tld

The central address webmail.siteforge.ie is intended for browser-based webmail access and fallback login. It is not the standard hostname for IMAP, POP, or SMTP in a mail client.

IMAP settings​

  • Incoming server: mail.yourdomain.tld
  • Port: 993 (IMAP over SSL)
  • Encryption: SSL/TLS

POP3 settings​

  • Incoming server: mail.yourdomain.tld
  • Port: 995 (POP3 over SSL)
  • Encryption: SSL/TLS

SMTP settings​

  • Outgoing server: mail.yourdomain.tld
  • Port: 465 (SMTP over SSL)
  • Alternative port: 587 (SMTP with STARTTLS)
  • Encryption: SSL/TLS or STARTTLS

IMAP is recommended for most users because it keeps your mailbox synchronized across multiple devices.

Notes​

  • If your welcome email or hosting panel shows different mailbox-specific details, follow those values first.
  • If you have just changed DNS or enabled SSL, wait for the mailbox hostname to finish propagating before testing all devices.
  • After a password change, update the saved password on every device that uses the mailbox.
  • If sending fails, make sure SMTP authentication is enabled in the mail app.
