How to check mail id server imap and pop3

To check if a mail server supports IMAP and POP3, you can follow these steps:

Method 1: Using a Mail Client

  1. Set up a mail client like Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, or Apple Mail on your computer or mobile device.
  2. Configure the mail client to connect to the mail server using the following settings:
    • Server type: IMAP or POP3
    • Server address: The mail server's hostname or IP address
    • Port: The port number used by the mail server (e.g., 143 for IMAP, 110 for POP3)
    • Username: Your email address
    • Password: Your email password
  3. Try to connect to the mail server using the mail client. If the connection is successful, it means the mail server supports IMAP or POP3.

Method 2: Using Telnet

  1. Open a command prompt or terminal on your computer.
  2. Use the Telnet command to connect to the mail server's port:
    • For IMAP: telnet mailserver.com 143 (replace mailserver.com with the mail server's hostname or IP address)
    • For POP3: telnet mailserver.com 110
  3. If the connection is successful, you should see a response from the mail server indicating that it supports IMAP or POP3.

Method 3: Using a Web-Based Tool

  1. Use a web-based tool like Mail-Server-Check or Check-IMAP-POP3 to test the mail server's IMAP and POP3 settings.
  2. Enter the mail server's hostname or IP address, and the tool will attempt to connect to the server using IMAP and POP3.
  3. If the connection is successful, the tool will indicate that the mail server supports IMAP or POP3.
