- Additional settings will be displayed. To configure your account for the IONOS email servers, enter/select the following settings:

|   | TYPE | SERVER ADDRESS | PORT | SSL | AUTHENTICATION |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Incoming | IMAP | imap.ionos.co.uk | 993 | SSL/TLS | Normal password |
| Outgoing | SMTP | smtp.ionos.co.uk | 587 | STARTTLS | Normal password |

- Make sure your full email address has been entered in the **Username** fields and click **Done**.

Your account is now set up. To retrieve your emails, click on **Inbox** in the navigation bar on the left.
