How to use Spacemail with Gmail, Outlook, Thunderbird or any other email client?

You can connect your Spacemail mailbox to any third-party email client of your choice (Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, etc.) using IMAP, POP3, and SMTP protocols.

The configuration details are available in both your Spacemail Manager and Spacemail webmail.

_{In Spacemail Manager}

1. Log in to your account here. 

2. Locate the Spacemail subscription linked to the mailbox in question.

3. Click the three dots next to the required mailbox and select IMAP/POP3/SMTP.

   

4. Use the configuration details to set up an email client.

_{In Spacemail Webmail}

1. Log in to your Spacemail Webmail.

2. Click the Settings button in the upper-right corner.

3. Locate the IMAP/SMTP/POP3 card. 

4. Click See configuration to view your setup details.

   

5. Go to your preferred email client and enter the configuration information.

Note: IMAP/SMTP/POP3 access is enabled by default. You can disable it at any time from either Spacemail Manager or webmail.

_{General IMAP/SMTP/POP3 configuration details}

Username: your full Spacemail address
Password: the password for this email account
Server Type: IMAP or POP3

The difference between IMAP and POP3:

• POP3 downloads emails from a server to a single device and then deletes them from the server. 

• IMAP stores emails on a server and synchronises your messages across multiple devices. 

We recommend using IMAP for better synchronisation.
