Mail server configuration
These are the connection details you should enter in desktop and mobile email clients. If you are unsure, choose IMAP for incoming mail and the secure SMTP port for outgoing mail.
Incoming
IMAP
- Purpose
- Keep messages and folders synced across devices.
- Server
- imap.yoover.com
- Port
- 993
- Security
- TLS / SSL
- Username
- yourname@yoover.com
Incoming
POP3
- Purpose
- Download inbox messages to one device.
- Server
- pop3.yoover.com
- Port
- 995
- Security
- TLS / SSL
- Username
- yourname@yoover.com
Outgoing
SMTP
- Purpose
- Send messages from your email client.
- Server
- smtp.yoover.com
- Port
- 465
- Security
- TLS / SSL
- Username
- yourname@yoover.com
Your regular mailbox password works for mail apps unless two-factor authentication is enabled. If you later enable 2FA, switch your clients over to application-specific passwords for better compatibility.
Recommended setup flow
If you are adding your mailbox to a new device, this is the fastest low-friction path that works reliably for most clients.
-
1
Choose IMAP unless you specifically need POP3.
IMAP keeps folders, read state, and sent messages synchronized across desktop, mobile, and webmail.
-
2
Use your full email address as the username.
Example: name@yoover.com. This is the safest default for both incoming and outgoing settings.
-
3
Enable secure connection settings.
Choose TLS/SSL or STARTTLS according to the server details shown above. Avoid plain-text or unsecured transport methods.
-
4
Require SMTP authentication.
Outgoing mail should authenticate with the same mailbox credentials so your device is permitted to send messages.
Troubleshooting common issues
Most connection problems come from username formatting, wrong ports, cached passwords, or 2FA-related app password confusion.
-
Login rejected
Re-enter the password carefully and confirm you are using the full email address as the username. If 2FA is enabled, generate an app-specific password.
-
Receiving works, but sending fails
SMTP authentication is probably disabled or the outgoing username/password differs from the incoming credentials. Use the same mailbox identity for both.
-
Client keeps timing out
Check that the correct server names and secure ports are entered, and confirm your network allows outbound connections on those ports.
-
Folders or sent mail do not sync
That usually means the client was configured as POP3 instead of IMAP. Recreate the account as IMAP if you want folder sync across devices.
