Imap outgoing mail server port
The outgoing mail server port for IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is typically port 587. This is the default port used for submitting outgoing mail messages to a mail server.
Here's a breakdown of the common ports used for IMAP:
- IMAP (incoming mail): port 143 (default) or port 993 (SSL/TLS)
- IMAP (outgoing mail): port 587 (default) or port 465 (SSL/TLS)
Note that some mail providers may use different ports, so it's always a good idea to check with your provider if you're unsure. Additionally, some mail clients may use different ports by default, so you may need to configure your client to use the correct port.
Here are some examples of common mail providers and their default IMAP ports:
- Gmail: port 993 (SSL/TLS) for incoming mail, port 587 (TLS) for outgoing mail
- Outlook.com: port 993 (SSL/TLS) for incoming mail, port 587 (TLS) for outgoing mail
- Yahoo Mail: port 993 (SSL/TLS) for incoming mail, port 587 (TLS) for outgoing mail
- AOL Mail: port 993 (SSL/TLS) for incoming mail, port 587 (TLS) for outgoing mail
Remember to always use the correct port and authentication settings for your mail provider to ensure secure and reliable email communication.
