MailServerList

Database: ISP DB

You must read this page before you supply configs. By submitting configs, you place your contributions in the public domain (insofar as copyright can apply to collections of facts). You may use the list for any purpose. Good community members are expected to contribute back any improvements they make to the list.

The Mail Server List is a public domain list of email providers and the correct configuration for their mail servers. It is designed to enable services which make autoconfiguration of email clients as easy as giving name, email address and password.

Please test config information before submitting it, if at all possible (although untested data is better than no data). You are probably in the best position to try this, as other project participants won't have accounts with this ISP.

Some details

Enable URL

Some providers do not provide IMAP or POP service by default, but require it to be enabled via a web UI. Paste the URL that a logged-in user would use into this field, and the application can prompt the user to visit it.

Secure Auth

This is whether the password must be sent in clear or can be encrypted (hashed via MD5).

To find out manually, you can contact the server directly and talk the POP/IMAP/SMTP protocol manually. Use netcat -v hostname port (preferred) or telnet hostname port as "client".

• POP3: when you see +OK WEB.DE POP3-Server or similar, enter CAPA, hit return.
• IMAP: when you see * OK mwinf2j04 IMAP4 server ready or similar, enter 1 CAPABILITY, hit return.
• SMTP: when you see 220 mail.gmx.net GMX Mailservices ESMTP or similar, enter EHLO example.net, hit return.

In all cases, if you see CRAM-MD5 or DIGEST-MD5 or (for POP) APOP in the response, the server should support "secure auth". If you only see AUTH LOGIN and/or PLAIN, the server probably does not support secure auth.
