Outlook Email Settings for Secure (SSL) Email Access

Last updated: 22 September 2026

Please note: our mail platform has changed, and the server settings in this article are the new ones. If your mailbox has not been moved across yet, your current settings will still be working - please leave them as they are until we tell you otherwise. See Email Address Settings to use in an Email Client for the full list, or contact support if you would like to be moved across sooner.

When setting up Microsoft Outlook to access your mailbox on our email servers we recommend you use secure settings. You can find your email server settings in your space summary in the hosting control panel. They will be similar the following host names, which are used for incoming (IMAP) and outgoing (SMTP) servers.

Incoming mail server (IMAP): imap.nah.zone
Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.nah.zone

Ports: IMAP 993 with SSL/TLS, SMTP 587 with STARTTLS. Make sure "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" is ticked, using the same username and password as the incoming server.

It is possible to use mail.yourowndomain.com if you really want to, but if you want to use a secure connection and receive no warnings about the security (SSL) certificate then you must use the hostnames above.

Under "More Settings ..." on the "Outgoing Server" tab.

On the "Advanced" tab.
