These instructions are here for your convenience and have been tested and proven work with our service, but please understand we do not own or operate this app. If you need support with the app, you will need to contact the developer. If you can access your email through our webmail interface, then these settings should work and everything is working on our end. Most issues setting up an app that we see come from someone not typing in the mail servers correctly. Both incoming and outgoing (SMTP) servers must be set according to the instructions above.
