Email Connection Settings¶
Use this page to confirm the standard Fused email connection settings for IMAP, POP, SMTP, ports, SSL, and authentication. These values are useful when a mail app cannot auto-detect settings.
Find settings for a specific account¶
If you are not sure whether a mailbox uses the shared Fused hostnames or a server-specific hostname, use the email settings finder:
Recommended Settings¶
| What | Hostname | Port | Security |
|---|---|---|---|
| Incoming IMAP | imap.fused.com |
993 |
SSL/TLS |
| Outgoing SMTP | smtp.fused.com |
587 |
TLS |
Use your full email address as the username for both incoming and outgoing mail. Use the email account password, not your Fused client-area password.
SMTP authentication is required
Username and password are required for outgoing mail, even if a mail app labels them as optional.
Settings By Protocol¶
IMAP is the recommended option. It keeps mail, folders, read status, and deletions synchronized across your devices.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Hostname | imap.fused.com |
| Username | Your full email address, such as user@example.com |
| Password | Your email account password |
| Port | 993 |
| Security | SSL/TLS |
SMTP is used for outgoing mail.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Hostname | smtp.fused.com |
| Username | Your full email address, such as user@example.com |
| Password | Your email account password |
| Port | 587 |
| Security | TLS |
If your mail app does not support port 587, use port 465 with SSL/TLS.
POP should only be used when you specifically want mail downloaded to one device instead of synchronized across devices.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Hostname | pop.fused.com |
| Username | Your full email address, such as user@example.com |
| Password | Your email account password |
| Port | 995 |
| Security | SSL/TLS |
IMAP vs. POP¶
| Feature | IMAP | POP |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Most users | Single-device legacy setups |
| Syncs across devices | Yes | No full synchronization |
| Server storage | Mail stays on the server | Mail is downloaded locally |
| Recovery | Better chance of server-side recovery | Local backups are your responsibility |
Use IMAP unless you know you need POP
IMAP is the better default because it keeps your mailbox consistent across desktop, phone, tablet, and webmail.
