3. Note down the IMAP server address, username, and password. The IMAP server address is usually imap.yourdomain.com (replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name).
4. On your email client (e.g., Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird), set up a new account and enter the following settings:
   • Server: imap.yourdomain.com
   • Port: 993 (or 143 if you prefer to use a non-SSL connection)
   • Username: your email address
   • Password: your email password
5. Save the changes and test your IMAP connection.

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)

5. Save the changes and test your SMTP connection.

Additional Tips

• If you're using a firewall or antivirus software, ensure that they allow incoming and outgoing connections on the IMAP and SMTP ports (993, 143, 587, and 25).
• If you're experiencing issues with IMAP or SMTP connections, try resetting your email client or checking the OVH email server status.

By following these steps, you should be able to set up and use OVH mail with IMAP and SMTP. If you have any further questions or issues, feel free to ask!
