Mail clients.

Use an app password. Do not give Apple Mail, Thunderbird, or Outlook your primary ZanonMail password.

Before you start

Create an app password in Settings → Mail applications. The password is shown once. The web client stays on JMAP. External clients use IMAP and SMTP with implicit TLS. POP3 is not offered. These clients are not signed in through ZanonMail as a third-party OAuth provider — use the app password.

A third-party client can download and store mail on that device. ZanonMail cannot control how that application keeps copies.

  1. On Mac: Mail → Settings → Accounts → Add Account → Other Mail Account.
  2. On iPhone: Settings → Apps → Mail → Mail Accounts → Add Account → Other.
  3. Enter your ZanonMail address and the app password.
  4. If asked for servers, use mail.zanonmail.com, incoming port 993, outgoing port 465, SSL/TLS on both.

Thunderbird

  1. Add a new existing email account.
  2. Use the full address and the app password.
  3. Manual config: IMAP mail.zanonmail.com:993 SSL/TLS, SMTP mail.zanonmail.com:465 SSL/TLS. Authentication is normal password.

Outlook

  1. Add an account and choose IMAP when Outlook offers advanced setup.
  2. Username is the full address. Password is the app password.
  3. Incoming mail.zanonmail.com port 993 SSL/TLS. Outgoing mail.zanonmail.com port 465 SSL/TLS. Do not use POP.

Generic IMAP client

Any client that can do IMAPS on 993 and SMTPS on 465 can connect. Username is the full address. Password is the app password. STARTTLS on 143 or 587 is not published on this deployment.
