SWCP Email Server Settings

This article contains the info you need to set up any email client to work with the SWCP mail servers.

• Outgoing mail server: mail.swcp.com
  • Authenticated SMTP Port: 465
  • Use SSL with Authenticated SMTP: Yes
    • or for TLS (mac mail tends to like this better)
      • Authenticated SMTP Port: 587
      • Use TLS with Authenticated SMTP: Yes
  • What about good old port 25?
    • Port 25 works only under certain conditions, and is no longer intended for email client interaction. It is best to use Authenticated SMTP which should always work.

• Incoming mail server: mail.swcp.com
  • Incoming Protocols: IMAP or POP. Again, we recommend you ONLY use the SSL versions of these services.
    • SSL IMAP Port: 993 (Recommended)
    • Standard (insecure) IMAP port: 143
    • SSL POP Port: 995
    • Standard (insecure) POP Port: 110
