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

Can you confirm you are using all the correct settings for your outgoing mail? Does the mail stay in the Outbox? or just not get delivered?
-

Thank you and I've confirmed the correct settings. I'm using IMAP settings for Outlook 2013 w/ my Outlook 2016 version and email doesn't sit in the outbox but the recipient's aren't getting the email. I tested the incoming and outgoing ports and it completed successful. I'm receiving emails just not able to send email.

Hello Xavier8726,
So I looked at the logs and since I fixed it on October 16th only 2 messages have been flagged by our service. They were both sent from you to you, so I am not sure what happened there. If gmail recipients are not receiving the emails, then they are being blocked on the gmail side. We show successful delivery to gmail addresses. The recipient would have to find out why Google is blocking it and see how to get it fixed.
As for the 2 messages I saw that were flagged. I attempted to clear them, but was not successful. The service responded that they had several spam flags. They will need some information to look more deeply. Unfortunately this may come with difficulty. I understand you are using Outlook 2016. There is a standard format for email called RFC822 (.eml). This is what we need from you to analyze it further. Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn't always support standards. You will likely need to contact Microsoft support to get this format for us. It is possible that the 2016 version does support it. I use 2013 and it does not. The message you are looking for in your sent folder was sent by you on
10/27/2018 at 17:38(logs may be off by time zone) from xepps@xnefinance.com and was sent to you at xepps@xnefinance.com
Depending on time zones it might not show in your Outlook as 17:38, but the minutes should match. It also appears it might be the only outbound email that day.
I am sorry I am unable to provide instruction on this process, but in my research, I was only able to locate a couple of 3rd party tools to accomplish this task and I know nothing of their origin and so can't advise their use. If there is an advised tool for you to use, Microsoft support should be able to advise you how to acquire it.

Thanks Drew for your thorough explanation, I have since discovered I'm receiving emails from Gmail users but ALL of my outgoing messages to Gmail is being flagged as spammy...I've literally gone thru 20 emails with various clients to have them mark it as not spam and move to their inbox but the very next email goes back to the spam folder. Is there anything else I can do?

Good morning Xavier8726, Unfortunately, it isn't possible for me to know what the problem is on Google's side. They might have a server level filter on these messages. I have made a change to your DNS records. I have added a DMARC record. There is a possibility that this will help, but I have no way of knowing for sure. It could take up to 24 hours for the record to propagate.
In order to know what the problem is, the recipient would have to ask Google what the problem is. If they have taken issue with something with your practices or our servers, then we would be better equipped to address the issue. Hopefully this record change may resolve it for you. Try again later and see if it succeeds. If not let me know and I will see if I can think of anything else, but I am not seeing any systemic issue on our side. Nor have I seen other customers having this issue on a scale that would indicate a system problem.

I am having a difficult time "linking" my domain & gmail account. Adding the domain to my gmail account. This is the error message I receive: There was a problem communicating with pop.homestead.comServer returned error: "Connection closed by remote host: The other server terminated our connection. Please contact your other email provider for more information."

Check out the settings at the top of the page. You are probably using your domain name in the server name. Switch that to the aapropriatehomestead.com server and you should no longer get that message

If that doesn't resolve it, is it only one of your addresses? or all of them having trouble?
