An email client is an application used to send and receive email - such as Outlook, Thunderbird, or Apple Mail. To connect it to your mybox mailbox, you need to enter the correct server addresses and ports.
Use the settings below to configure your email client manually.

SSL encrypts the connection between your email client and the server. Use these settings if your email client supports SSL or STARTTLS - most modern clients do.

IMAP or POP3 - which should I use?
IMAP keeps your messages stored on the server and synchronises them across all your devices. A message read on your phone will appear as read on your computer. If a device is lost or breaks down, your messages remain safe on the server. This is the recommended option for most users.
POP3 downloads messages to a single device and, depending on your settings, may remove them from the server afterwards. This works well if you use only one device and need offline access to your messages. It is not suitable for use across multiple devices simultaneously.
