Adding a Mail.com Account to Airmail (IMAP Setup)

Problem

You're trying to add a Mail.com email account to Airmail but the automatic setup fails or can't authenticate.

Solution

Mail.com accounts need to be added as IMAP accounts with manual server settings.

Step-by-Step Setup

1. Open Airmail
2. Go to Settings → Accounts → Add Account
3. Select Other (IMAP)
4. Enter your Mail.com email address and password
5. If automatic detection fails, enter the settings manually:

Mail.com Server Settings

Incoming Mail (IMAP)

• Server: imap.mail.com
• Port: 993
• Security: SSL/TLS
• Username: Your full email address

Outgoing Mail (SMTP)

• Server: smtp.mail.com
• Port: 587
• Security: STARTTLS
• Username: Your full email address
• Authentication: Password

Troubleshooting

• Make sure you're using your full email address as the username (e.g., yourname@mail.com)
• If you have 2FA enabled on Mail.com, you may need to generate an app-specific password from the Mail.com security settings
• Confirm that IMAP access is enabled in your Mail.com account settings (Settings → POP3/IMAP)
• Double-check that your password is correct by logging in at mail.com first
