We recommend using the IMAP protocol if you access your mailbox from different devices (PC, Mobile phone, Tablet, …).

You can configure Microsoft Outlook to check your emails.

Set the following parameters in the configuration wizard to access your Webhosting Classic mailbox:
- IMAP server (incoming mail):
  - Hostname: imap.online.net
  - TCP port: 993
  - Connection type: SSL
- SMTP server (outgoing mail)
  - Hostname: smtpauth.online.net
  - TCP port: 587 or 465
  - Connection type TLS
Click More settings, then select Advanced to configure the ports:
Click Outgoing server and tick the box My outgoing server requires authentication. Then click OK to validate.
