Email Client Settings
There are many email clients out there that can be configured to check your Homestead mail. Below are some links to some popular clients you can use. They have detailed instructions on how to configure each one, with screenshots. If you have another email client which is not listed below, the settings below will work on nearly all email programs.
For IMAP
Username = Email Address
Password = your email password
Incoming server = imap.homestead.com
Outgoing server = smtp.homestead.com
Incoming port = 993
Outgoing port = 465
Turn the encryption/SSL setting to the On position for both incoming and outgoing
Important: If you experience problems receiving email, you can change the encryption/SSL setting to the Off position, and change the incoming port to 143 and change the outgoing port to 587
For POP
Username = Email Address
Password = your email password
Incoming server = pop.homestead.com
Outgoing server = smtp.homestead.com
Incoming port = 995
Outgoing port = 465
Turn the encryption/SSL setting to the On position for both incoming and outgoing
Important: If you experience problems receiving email, you can change the encryption/SSL setting to the Off position, and change the incoming port to 110 and change the outgoing port to 587
If you aren't sure of the difference between POP and IMAP and why you would use one or the other, please click here. If you have a different client and would like instructions, please ask. We will see if we can accommodate the request.
Important Note: Software changes rapidly. If you see a future version of something we are missing, let us know. We will see if we can get it done. Keep in mind, newer versions often look the same or similar. Our settings are not changing, so you may be able to make it work

I am trying to link my email from my website to 17Hats. It requires my "STMP Server" Where would I find this information?

Thanks. Still have the same problem. I have two addresses in each of my two cell phones. They are both homestead addresses. One address works fine in both phones but the other address does not, even with the settings you listed above.
Any other suggestions?

This was very helpful getting my settings corrected and my emails flowing onto my computer again. However I am now told that if I delete the 'incorrect' pop settings that were creating the problem, I will also lose all my mailboxes and mails associated with these settings. so do I just have to live with the constant ! error notification??

I am also having problems sending emails thru Quickbooks. The smtp.homestead.com and the 465 outgoing port do not work. Shouldn't it be like smtp.roundcube.com?

I'm having the same issue, able to receive messages but not send message from Microsoft Outlook 2019, I reviewed the settings and the only error message is sending emails. Says something went wrong, we couldn't log onto the outgoing (STMP) server. But I know the credentials are good because I used them to log onto here to post the message.

I can get email, but still can't send:
Now I'm getting this message An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: bosauthsmtp15: Host 72.200.27.144: No unauthenticated relaying permitted. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again.
I've tried every combination of imap and pop listed above. What does this message mean?

Just looking at Homestead as an option for a website. I have an existing site with a email attached to my domain. Can emails just be ported over? Or are new email addresses required?
