Protonmail pop3 and imap settings
ProtonMail provides POP3 and IMAP access to your emails, allowing you to access your account from third-party email clients or mobile apps. Here are the settings you'll need:
POP3 Settings:
- Server: pop.protonmail.com
- Port: 995 (SSL/TLS)
- Username: Your ProtonMail username (e.g., [email protected])
- Password: Your ProtonMail password
- Authentication: Password
- Leave messages on server: No (or set to "Expunge" if you want to delete messages from the server after downloading)
IMAP Settings:
- Server: imap.protonmail.com
- Port: 993 (SSL/TLS)
- Username: Your ProtonMail username (e.g., [email protected])
- Password: Your ProtonMail password
- Authentication: Password
- Enable SSL/TLS: Yes
- Enable STARTTLS: No
Additional Tips:
- Make sure to enable SSL/TLS or STARTTLS in your email client or mobile app to ensure a secure connection.
- If you're using a third-party email client, you may need to configure it to use the ProtonMail servers as a "custom" or "other" email account.
- ProtonMail recommends using IMAP over POP3, as IMAP allows for two-way synchronization and keeps your emails up-to-date across all devices.
- If you're having trouble connecting to ProtonMail using POP3 or IMAP, try checking your email client's settings or contacting ProtonMail support for assistance.
