Set up your professional email on desktop or mobile

last updated October 20, 2024

Introduction

Before you can start using your new Mango Mail address, you'll want to set up your account with a mail client. This article servers as a general setup guide, however you can check out our other setup guides for dedicated instructions on specific clients.

Prerequisites

  • Create and set up your Mango Mail account.
  • Create a new email address through the Mango Dashboard.
  • Download and install an email client.

Choose a client app

There are countless email client apps that can provide you with different tools and features to organize your mail. However, most devices come pre-installed with a default mail app. For Windows, this is Windows Mail and similarly Apple's iPhone has iOS Mail. You can get started with the default mail apps or install a third-party one like Thunderbird for desktop or the Spark Mail App for mobile.

Configure your address

Once you've installed your email client, go to your settings and add a new account. The name you set for your address will be the name that appears in the "Sender" field when recipients open your messages. For your connection settings, use the below configurations:

Enter the following incoming (IMAP) server settings:
  • Username: Email address
  • Password: Email password
  • IMAP server: imap.mymangomail.com
  • Security type: SSL
  • Port: 993
Enter the following outgoing (SMTP) server settings:
  • Username: Email address
  • Password: Email password
  • SMTP server: smtp.mymangomail.com
  • Security type: SSL
  • Port: 465

Wrapping up

Once you've configured these settings, you should be good to go. If your app is telling you the connection has failed, verify your server configurations are correct. You may also receive an error if the provided password does not match the one set for your address. You can easily fix this by resetting your address password in the Mango Dashboard.

Next Steps

Now that you've finished setting up your email client, you can start sending emails with your new Mango Mail address. You can also set up your Mango Mail address with Spark Mail on desktop, the Gmail App, or iOS Mail.
