## Step 6: Configure Mail Clients
|
|
|
|
Use these settings for Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, etc.:
|
|
|
|
### Incoming Mail (IMAP)
|
|
| Setting | Value |
|
|
|---------|-------|
|
|
| Server | `mail.web.orbishosting.com` |
|
|
| Port | `993` |
|
|
| Security | SSL/TLS |
|
|
| Username | full email address (e.g., user@web.orbishosting.com) |
|
|
|
|
### Outgoing Mail (SMTP)
|
|
| Setting | Value |
|
|
|---------|-------|
|
|
| Server | `mail.web.orbishosting.com` |
|
|
| Port | `587` |
|
|
| Security | STARTTLS |
|
|
| Authentication | Normal password |
|
|
| Username | full email address |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Step 7: Test Email Deliverability
|
|
|
|
1. Send a test email from your new mailbox to an external address (Gmail, Outlook)
|
|
2. Check spam score: https://www.mail-tester.com
|
|
3. Check blacklists: https://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx
|
|
|
|
**Target score:** 10/10 on mail-tester.com
|
|
|
|
Common issues if score is low:
|
|
- Missing PTR record → contact ISP
|
|
- Missing DKIM → check Step 4
|
|
- Missing DMARC → check dns-records.md
|
|
- On a residential ISP blacklist → consider a mail relay (SendGrid, Mailgun) for outbound
