What are my mail.com IMAP settings?

IMAP is imap.mail.com on port 993 (SSL); SMTP is smtp.mail.com on port 587 with STARTTLS. All mail.com vanity domains share these servers, and we detect them automatically from your address.

Why can't I log in over IMAP?

Three usual reasons: the account is free rather than Premium, since mail.com only opens IMAP and POP3 to Premium customers; the "POP3 & IMAP" toggle in the webmail settings is still off; or two-factor authentication is on and you need an application-specific password instead of your normal one.

Does the mail.com calendar work with my assistant?

Yes. mail.com exposes its calendar over CalDAV at caldav.mail.com with the same credential as your mailbox, so your assistant can read your agenda and add events.

Connect your mail.com email to Claude & ChatGPT

mail.com runs on the same 1&1 platform as GMX: IMAP exists but is a Premium feature behind a toggle that ships switched off. Flip it, and anymailmcp.com brings your mail.com inbox and calendar into your assistant.

Server settings

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

Calendar: yes

The mail.com organizer speaks CalDAV at caldav.mail.com with the same login as IMAP, including the same application-specific password when 2FA is on, so events ride along with your mail.

Before you start

What you need

A mail.com Premium mailbox

mail.com reserves POP3 and IMAP for Premium customers; free accounts are webmail and app only. Every vanity domain works, from usa.com to consultant.com and techie.com, all on imap.mail.com.

IMAP enabled in webmail

Log in at mail.com, open E-mail, then Settings, then "POP3 & IMAP", tick "Enable access to this account via POP3 and IMAP" and save.

Your password, or an app password with 2FA

Your normal mail.com password works over IMAP. If two-factor authentication is on, create an application-specific password under Security Options and paste that here instead.

mail.com works best with a revocable app password.
