Outlook IMAP Settings

Port number: 993

Encryption method: TLS

SMTP Ports

The available SMTP ports are four and each of them underlies a different type of encryption for email sending.

25 – This port serves to send messages in plain text, although if the mail server supports it, it can be encrypted with TLS. Therefore, many Internet service providers block it, as it represents a security risk.

Port 2525 is an alternative to the SMTP port 25 and can be encrypted over TLS.

587 – This is the port IANA registered as the secure SMTP port, and it requires an explicit TLS connection. However, if the email server does not support TLS, the message will be sent in plain text.

Port 465 works over an implicit SSL connection and if the server does not support it, the operation will be aborted.

POP3 ports

Port 110 is the default POP3 port and it is not encrypted.

The encrypted port for POP3 is 995 and works over TLS/SSL.

IMAP ports

By default IMAP works on two ports like POP3:

143 – this is the default port which does not provide any encryption.

Port 993 is the secure port for IMAP and it works over TLS/SSL encryption.
