SMTP: Server:mail.yourdomain.tld
- Port 465: With Authentication using incoming user/pass and SSL
- Port 587: With Authentication using incoming user/pass and STARTTLS
  - Our email hosting uses Port 587 and STARTTLS for SMTP
Thunderbird Users: our mail servers are set up in a way that Thunderbird should find all this information automatically, all you need to do is enter your Name, Email Address, and Password in the Add Email Account Wizard.
Outlook Users: Outlook will take a few seconds, but will find the correct settings for your domain if you enter your Name, Email Address, and Password.

If you run into an error to do with a "certificate" being invalid or something similar, please install the CA certificate for our mail hosting.

Server Side Message Filtering can be used by any program supporting the SIEVE protocol

NOTE: Computerisms has Server Side Filtering disabled by default, please contact us to enable it
- Enabling this feature will disable the ability to do forwarding and autoreplies in Qmailadmin
- Qmailadmin is easier to use, Server Side Filtering provides more features and control
The Sieve Protocol is a platform independent method of filtering your mail
- This is commonly done using "Message Rules" or similar on email clients such as Thunderbird and Outlook, but your program needs to download the messages in order to filter them
- In this case, the server does the filtering so it can drop the mail in the correct folder before your email client knows it is there
- Sieve Protocol also allows for other features, such as Out of Office replies, forwarding, and copying.
  - Be sure to include rules pertaining to BULK mail if you subscribe to mailing lists and want to use Out of Office replies
RoundCube can be used to implement Server Side Filters
SquirrelMail also supports Server Side Filtering, just click on the coffee filter icon after you log in
There is also a a Thunderbird Plugin, but it's a bit complicated to use
