The server configuration section of your mailbox overview is the main area for managing your new mailbox.

The server configuration shows you the most important information about your

mailbox, namely the incoming and outgoing mail servers. In other words, all the

information you need to manage incoming and outgoing mail.

This is particularly important if you want to configure SMTP plugins

or email clients.

SMTP refers to the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and is only relevant for

sending email. For example, when you want to configure an SMTP plugin.

IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol and is the standard

method for receiving email at Raidboxes. Emails between the client and the

mail server are constantly synchronized with this method. In concrete terms,

this means if you delete an email from one of your clients, it will also be

deleted from the mail server. So if you delete an email on your

smartphone, for example, it will also be deleted from your web server.

Incoming mail server

This is where you find the data for receiving email via IMAP and POP3. We

recommend you always receive email via IMAP.

Outgoing mail server

This information is needed for applications that require you to set up an

outgoing server to send email. This applies, for example, to SMTP plugins.
