Mail.com offers premium email addresses for use at its website, which is easily available from any web browser and the best part of the service is, it’s absolutely free of cost. In addition to this feature, the site also includes a news portal which will help users to gain knowledge about their surrounds. However, most of you might prefer to access your Mail.com emails using a separate email client such as Outlook or Thunderbird. Well, to synchronize your Mail.com account with an outside email client, you will need to enter server settings such as IMAP to receive email and SMTP to send an email. Use the Mail.com IMAP settings listed below to access your emails from any external email program or service.
Note: Only Premium Mail.com users have IMAP access to their accounts. The free mail plan doesn’t support IMAP settings.
