Configuring Email for Secure Connections
Only email clients configured to use secure settings are able to connect to the Rohan email server.
Unless configured to use secure (encrypted) protocols, email programs send your username, password, and email content as clear text that could possibly be intercepted by others, particularly on a wireless network. Check your email programs to make sure incomming (IMAP or POP) and outgoing (SMTP) servers are configured with secure settings.
Webmail uses HTTPS for security.
- Use SSL port for IMAP (993) or POP (995).
- Use SSL port 587 for SMTP
