Proton mail imap settings

To set up Proton Mail with IMAP, you'll need to configure your email client with the following settings:

IMAP Settings:

• Server: imap.protonmail.ch
• Port: 993 (SSL/TLS)
• Username: Your Proton Mail address (e.g., [email protected])
• Password: Your Proton Mail password
• Authentication: PLAIN or LOGIN (depending on your email client's capabilities)

SMTP Settings:

• Server: smtp.protonmail.ch
• Port: 587 (STARTTLS)
• Username: Your Proton Mail address (e.g., [email protected])
• Password: Your Proton Mail password
• Authentication: PLAIN or LOGIN (depending on your email client's capabilities)

Additional Settings:

• SSL/TLS: Enable SSL/TLS encryption for both IMAP and SMTP connections.
• Authentication: Use PLAIN or LOGIN authentication methods, depending on your email client's capabilities.
• Folder Structure: Proton Mail uses a hierarchical folder structure. You can create folders and subfolders in your Proton Mail account, and they will be synchronized with your email client.

Email Client-Specific Settings:

• Thunderbird: Go to Account Settings > Server Settings and enter the IMAP and SMTP settings above.
• Apple Mail: Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and enter the IMAP and SMTP settings above.
• Microsoft Outlook: Go to File > Account Settings > Account and enter the IMAP and SMTP settings above.
• Other Email Clients: Consult your email client's documentation for specific instructions on setting up IMAP and SMTP connections.

Remember to replace [email protected] with your actual Proton Mail address and password. If you encounter any issues, you can refer to Proton Mail's documentation or contact their support team for assistance.
