Sometime setting up all the various email configurations can be extremly confusing, especially when you are unsure of which ports go with which type of configuration. The bellow list should hopefully remove some of that confusion for you.

Default Ports:

Server:

Authentication:

Port:

SMTP Server (Outgoing Messages) Non-Encrypted AUTH 25 (or 587)
  Secure (TLS) StartTLS 587
  Secure (SSL) SSL 465
POP3 Server (Incoming Messages) Non-Encrypted AUTH 110
  Secure (SSL) SSL 995

So that takes care of the possible configuration option on our servers at Linuxweb. What if you want to check what teh configuration are for Gmail or Office365, bellow are te correct configurations for the ports and authetications.

  Please make sure, that POP3 access is enabled in the account settings.
