Set Up Noiz Email in Apple Mail on a Mac (IMAP and SMTP)
You set up Noiz email in Apple Mail by adding the account with your full email address and password, choosing IMAP, and entering mail.yourdomain.com as both mail servers. With IMAP, your folders and your read and unread messages stay in step on your Mac, your phone and Noiz webmail. This guide gives the exact settings and the fixes for the errors people meet.

Before you start
- The mailbox already exists. How to create an email address in Plesk shows how.
- Your full email address and its password. The password was set when the address was created, and can be reset in Plesk.
- Your domain's mail points at Noiz. If the domain moved recently, give DNS time to settle first.
What settings does Noiz email use?
Replace yourdomain.com with your own domain.
| Setting | Incoming (IMAP) | Outgoing (SMTP) |
|---|---|---|
| Server | mail.yourdomain.com |
mail.yourdomain.com |
| Port | 993 |
465 |
| Security | SSL/TLS | SSL/TLS |
| Authentication | Password | Password |
| User name | Your full email address | Your full email address |
| Password | The mailbox password | The same |
Use IMAP, not POP. IMAP keeps your mail on the server, so every device and webmail sees the same folders. POP downloads mail to one Mac.
How do you add the account in Apple Mail?
- Open Mail and choose Mail > Add Account.
- Enter your Noiz email address and select Continue. If Mail asks you to choose a provider, choose the Other account option at the bottom of the list.
- Follow the onscreen steps to enter your name, email address and password.
- If Mail cannot set the account up itself, it asks for the server details. Enter them as follows:
- Email address: your full address
- User name: your full address
- Password: your mailbox password
- Account type: IMAP
- Incoming mail server:
mail.yourdomain.com- Outgoing mail server:mail.yourdomain.com - Choose which apps use the account, usually just Mail, and finish the setup.
How do you check the ports and security?
Mail may guess the ports. Check them, so the account uses the encrypted ones:
- Choose Mail > Settings, then Accounts, and select your Noiz account.
- Open Server Settings.
- Under Incoming Mail Server, check the host name is
mail.yourdomain.com, the port is993and Use TLS/SSL is ticked. Untick Automatically manage connection settings if you need to type the port. - Under Outgoing Mail Server, choose Edit SMTP Server List, select the server and check the host name, port
465, Use TLS/SSL ticked and Authentication set to Password, with your full address as the user name. - If you changed anything, select Save.
Send yourself a message, and reply to it, to confirm both directions work.
What about your iPhone or iPad?
The iPhone and iPad Mail app uses the same settings. How to set up email on an iPhone or iPad shows the screens.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
| "Cannot verify server identity" or a certificate warning | Use the mail server name from your Noiz welcome email as the server name, in both places |
| The password is rejected | The user name must be the whole address, [email protected]. Try the mailbox in Noiz webmail to prove the password works |
| Mail receives but will not send | Check the outgoing server: port 465, Use TLS/SSL, authentication Password. SMTP error codes explained decodes the message you get |
| Sending fails on one network only | Some networks block mail ports. Test on mobile data |
| Mail keeps asking for the password | The password changed in Plesk. Update it in Mail > Settings > Accounts |

Need a hand?
Open a ticket in the console with your email address and the exact message Mail shows. Never send your password. Noiz mailboxes include webmail and IMAP on every hosting plan, so your mail is reachable from any device.
