• Outgoing mail
  • Outgoing mail server
  • Username and password for outgoing mail
• MX record

This is a guide to the values you typically need in order to set up email in any email program.

If you would like a guide for your specific program, you can see the other posts in this support category.

¶Incoming mail

¶Incoming mail server

The address of the incoming server is mail.simply.com.
The port for the incoming server for POP3 is 110.
The port for the incoming server for IMAP is 143.
You can connect using TLS / STARTTLS.

¶Username for incoming mail

The username is always your entire email address, as shown in your Mail Administration.
This could, for example, be mail@ditdomæne.dk.

¶Password for incoming mail

This is the password you chose when you created the email account in our Mail Administration. If you have forgotten the password, you can simply reset it via our Mail Administration.

Instead, we recommend using complicated and long passwords, sometimes called "app-passwords", preferably over 20 characters, and making sure to always connect with SSL/TLS enabled.

¶Outgoing mail

¶Outgoing mail server

The address of the outgoing server is smtp.simply.com.
You can use port 587 to send through it.
You can connect using TLS / STARTTLS.

If you use smtp.simply.com, you must also tick "Outgoing mail server requires authentication", i.e. log on to the outgoing server with username and password. See our other support posts for more information.

¶Username and password for outgoing mail

The username and password for the outgoing server are the same as for the incoming server. That is, your email address and the password for it.

¶MX record

The MX record for domains must be set to mx.simply.com
This is done automatically by our system and is therefore only relevant if you handle DNS yourself through a provider other than Simply.com.
