setting up your email address on multiple devices (IMAP)

You can always use Workspace Webmail to send and receive email messages. Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) lets you access email stored on a mail server from multiple computers and devices and is recommended.

It lets you access your email messages and files without transferring them between computers. You set up IMAP on the computer(s) from which you want to access email from your account.

To Set Up IMAP for Your Email Account

In the mail client for which you want to configure IMAP, locate the IMAP settings and enter the following:

Username
Your full email address

Password
Your email account password

Incoming Mail Server
server1.colman.net.nz

Outgoing Mail Server
server1.colman.net.nz

Incoming Port
993

Outgoing Port
465

If the previous settings didnt work enter the following:

Username
Your full email address

Password
Your email account password

Incoming Mail Server
mail.(domainname) - For example mail.colmancreative.nz

Outgoing Mail Server
mail.(domainname) - For example mail.colmancreative.nz

Incoming Port
143

Outgoing Port
25

Tick Authentication required for IMAP, POP3, and SMTP.

You can also refer to the provider's help documentation:

Outlook
Outlook Express
Entourage
Windows Vista
Apple Mail
Thunderbird

That's it. If everything is working OK, you should see some email messages. To make sure you can send messages, go ahead and compose an email and send it to yourself.
