Setting up your 20i mailbox in Outlook is quick and easy. We make use of ‘autodiscover’ technology, which means that in the majority of cases, Microsoft Outlook can set up your account for you with only an email address and a password.
Here’s our walk through video on how to set up your 20i mailbox in Outlook:

- Account type: IMAP
- Incoming mail server: imap.stackmail.com.
- Outgoing mail server: smtp.stackmail.com.
- Incoming server port (IMAP): 993
- Use the following type of encrypted connection: SSL
- Outgoing server port (SMTP): 465
- Use the following type of encrypted connection: SSL/TLS
When setting up your account, please choose More Settings > Outgoing Server and check the box for ‘My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication’.
If you experience any problems with the connection or receive a certificate warning, please disable SSL/TLS encryption and change the incoming server port to 143.
You can also set up the account using POP3, however this is not recommended in general as emails will be downloaded to the mail client you connect to the mail server.
