# How to configure Mail on a Mac (Outlook 2016)

We offer both secure and non-secure methods of connecting to our email server. The secure method protects your password from being intercepted (by using an SSL certificate)

## **Secure Method**

1. Open **Outlook 2016** from your Launchpad
2. Tap on **Add Account**
3. Click on **Other Email**
4. Enter account information
   1. **Email Address:** Your email account's username (user@domain.com)
   2. **Password:** Your email account's password
   3. **User Name:** Enter your email address again
   4. **Type:** Click the drop-down menu and select **IMAP** or **POP**
   5. **Mail Servers:** dixie.simplywebservices.net (this is our secure email server)
   6. **SSL:** Check the **Use SSL to Connect** boxes for the Incoming Server and Outgoing Server
5. Click **Add Account**

**INCOMING MAIL SERVER:**

- - - **Mail Servers**: dixie.simplywebservices.net (this is our secure email server)
    - **Port:** IMAP = 993  / POP3 = 995

**OUTGOING MAIL SERVER:**

1. - - **Mail Server**: dixie.simplywebservices.net (this is our secure email server)
     - **SMTP Port**: 465
     - Check **My outgoing (SMTP) server requires authentication**

### **Unsecure Method**

1. 1. Open **Outlook 2016** from your Launchpad
   2. Tap on **Add Account**
   3. Click on **Other Email**
   4. Enter account information
      1. **Email Address:** Your email account's username (user@domain.com)
      2. **Password:** Your email account's password
      3. **User Name:** Enter your email address again
      4. **Type:** Click the drop-down menu and select **IMAP** or **POP**
      5. **Mail Servers:** dixie.simplywebservices.net (this is our secure email server)
   5. Click **Add Account**

   **INCOMING MAIL SERVER:**

   - - - **Mail Servers**: mail.domain.com
       - **Port:** IMAP = 143 / POP3 = 110

   **OUTGOING MAIL SERVER:**

   1. - - **Mail Servers**: mail.domain.com
        - **SMTP Port**: 25 or 587
        - Check: **My outgoing (SMTP) server requires authentication**

POP3 downloads email from a server to a single computer, then deletes it from the server. On the other hand, IMAP stores messages on a server and synchronizes them across multiple devices.

Our servers do not support using a secure method and your domain name; you must use dixie.simplywebservices.net
