To set up your email in any app, use a server name based on your domain: mail.yourdomain.com. For example, if your domain is example.com, your mail server name is mail.example.com.
Why mail.yourdomain.com?
- It doesn’t change: it stays correct even if we move your account to another server, so you don’t need to update your devices.
- A valid certificate: an SSL certificate is issued for it automatically once your domain points to our nameservers, so connections are encrypted with no warnings.
- Easy to remember: it is your own domain with
mail.in front.

- Username: your full email address, e.g.
info@example.com. - Password: your mailbox password.
- Outgoing server: requires sign-in with the same details.
We recommend IMAP because it keeps messages on the server and in sync across your devices. Use POP3 only if you want to download messages to a single device.
If your domain doesn’t point to us yet
Until your domain points to ns1.ebdaahost.com and ns2.ebdaahost.com, no certificate is issued for mail.yourdomain.com. In that case, use your server name as shown in your welcome email, with the same ports. Once your domain points to us, switch the setting to mail.yourdomain.com.
