IONOS
IMAP server:
imap.ionos.com
IONOS runs a separate mail server for each country it sells in. There is no app password, but the password you need is the mailbox one, not the one for your IONOS customer account.
1. Pick the server for your IONOS country
| You signed up at | IMAP server |
|---|---|
ionos.com (US) |
imap.ionos.com |
ionos.de |
imap.ionos.de |
ionos.co.uk |
imap.ionos.co.uk |
| another country | imap.ionos. followed by that site's ending, e.g. imap.ionos.es |
2. Have your mailbox password ready
Use the password you set for the mailbox. If you do not know it, open Email in your IONOS account, choose the mailbox and set a new password.
3. The settings to use
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| IMAP server | from step 1 |
| Port | 993 |
| Security | SSL/TLS |
| Username | your full address, e.g. jana@firma.de |
| Password | your mailbox password |
If it still does not connect
- "Authentication failed" — you are probably using the IONOS account password. Use the mailbox password from step 2.
- Nothing answers on the server — check the server ending matches the IONOS site where you bought the mailbox.
