We recommend choosing a protocol adapted to your usage habits:

  • POP3: ideal for use on a single device;
  • IMAP: the best option for a multi-device usage (computer, mobile phone, tablet etc.).

The authenticated SMTP service has some limitations for security reasons:

  • No more than 5 simultaneous SMTP connections.
  • No more than 60 mails / hour / per recipient / per SMTP account.
  • No more than 500 mails / day / per recipient / domain.
  • The maximum size of an email is 20 MB (Attachment included).
  • You should instead use another service using FTP or HTTP to transfer larger files - for example: Free Transfert.

How to check your emails using a webmail interfaceLink to this anchor

  1. Access the Scaleway webmail interface.

  2. Log in with the following credentials:

    • The Login corresponds to your complete email address (you@domain.ex for example).
    • The Password related to your email account.
    Note

    If you do not know your password, you can recover it from the Online console.

    1. Log into the console.
    2. Click Hosting then Manage, then E-mail accounts. A list of your email addresses displays.
    3. Click the settings icon (cogwheel) next to your email address and click Update password to change it.
    Tip
    • If you use a messaging client (Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) on your computer, configured to use POP, it is normal that you can only see the newly arrived mails, as POP downloads mail onto your computer.
    • If you want to check your emails using the webmail, you should configure your client to use IMAP.
