What are my DreamHost IMAP settings?

IMAP is imap.dreamhost.com on port 993 (SSL); SMTP is smtp.dreamhost.com on port 587 (STARTTLS), with 465 (SSL) as an alternative. Filled in automatically.

Which password do I use?

The mail password of the address itself, managed in the DreamHost panel under Mail, Manage Email. It can differ from your panel login, and DreamHost has no app passwords.

Does the DreamHost calendar work?

No. DreamHost supports WebDAV for files but not the CalDAV extension, so the assistant connection is email only.

Under the hood

Server settings we auto-fill

You never type these. We detect them from your address and verify them live against DreamHost’s servers — they’re here for the curious.

Server settings

IMAP: imap.dreamhost.com:993
SMTP: smtp.dreamhost.com:587
Encryption: SSL/TLS

Calendar: email-only

DreamHost states its WebDAV service does not support CalDAV, so there is no calendar to attach. This connection is email only and all email tools work fully.
