About stackmail.com email settings

Stack Hosting email uses the imap.stackmail.com and smtp.stackmail.com hostnames. Those are the same server names many UK customers look for when searching for stackmail IMAP, smtp.stackmail.com or stackmail.com email settings for Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird and mobile apps.

If another guide told you to use stackmail.com with ports 993 and 465, you can use those values on Stack Hosting too.

Common problems

  • Cannot send mail: check SMTP is smtp.stackmail.com port 465 with SSL/TLS and authentication on.
  • Cannot receive mail: check IMAP is imap.stackmail.com port 993 with SSL/TLS.
  • Login fails: check you are using the full email address and the mailbox password, not a forwarding alias.
  • Wrong username: always use the full address, for example jo.smith@yourdomain.com.
