Cannot get email to work

[scottac]

Site indicate active account, yet the email does not work. Perhaps the settings in Outlook are incorrect, but don't know what the servers should be or other settings. Can anyone help?

Hello scottac
Need to know what server your on?

POP/SMTP Mail server: x13.x10hosting.com (Secure Connection for free hosting)

POP Port: 995 (SSL)
SMTP Port: 465 (SSL)

 

[scottac]

As far as I know, the server is X11.X10hosting.com

POP/SMTP Mail server: X11.X10hosting.com (Secure Connection for free hosting)

Maybe there is a problem with my password, perhaps. It appears that I have an account password along with some other type of password, however the email won't work with either password. The port settings identified previously are indeed the settings that I am utilizing. I don't seem to know which way to go to get the email working.

here is what i use which seems to work for me.

mail.your-website.com
pop port 995 connection ssl/tls
smtp port 587 connection starttls

use the mail.your-website.com instead of Mail server: X11.X10hosting.com
this seems to work for me.

the password you would need is the one you used when creating your email address

The default email account would not work at all for me. The default MX record "mail" set for custom domain. The x13.x10 mail server refused to connect all ports except 25. Never tried smtp ports.

Same for custom email address. Using the x13.x10 as server allow secure connection. Wondering if the Let's Encrypt certificate subdomain "mail" has anything to do with it.

i think when using a custom domain you would use like mail.custom-domain.com
not x10's domain name.(just a suggestion) staff may correct me if im wrong.
you could also try the ip address of your x10 website

You would use mail.ctyrd.org for your IMAP settings. You will use your full email address as the username and the password you set.

@Eric S

Using Gmail web client.

"Authentication failed. Please check your username/password.
Server returned error: "TLS Negotiation failed, the certificate doesn't match the host., code: 550"

"Claws mail client" get same certificate doesn't match the host error.

No certificate error with IMAP/POP/SMTP server: x13.x10hosting.com.

Have not tried to add mail.ctyrd.org to free Let's Encrypt certificate yet, there is an option to add in SSL manager. I'm worried about braking the certificate.
