Email Settings - POP3

If you are an Apple user (Mac /iphone/ipad) and have trouble we can send a QR code that will help - just ask. But Apple device setup usually works these days.

Unfortunately the "autodiscover" email setting for Outlook etc does not always work - you may need to use REPAIR and tweak the server names with a manual configuration.

repair

Then set the servers like this:

INCOMING MAIL: 

  • Server: caracal.mythic-beasts.com    
  • PORT is 995. 
  • Security needs to be set to TLS (sometimes named SSL) setting.

Set the email deletion parameters like this:

pop

OUTGOING (SMTP) MAIL: 

  • Server: smtp-auth.mythic-beasts.com
  • PORT is 587. 
  • Security needs to be set to Auto, or STARTTLS (or if not present, use SSL/TLS setting).

This will quite possibly fail to work first time. Outlook thinks it knows best, but it really does not.
So just go back top to the top, Repair again, and set server things up again and it probably will accept these settings the second time! (Ask Microsoft why this is, not us!)

Please shout if you have any issues. We can get onto Zoom screen share and do this for you if necessary.
