Morning
I'm experience Outlook issues.
Could someone direct me to the correct POP and SMPT setting with correct Port settings.

Having issues on the receiving side of things.

Hi.

Please drop me a DM, so I can check if your server is not affected by the current hosting outage.
 
High Impact • Hosting Outage | General
  • Cloud Hosting
  • Dedicated Hosting
  • Shared Hosting
UPDATE • 07:42 • 24 Nov 2025

The Afrihost engineering team is actively working to resolve the hosting outage affecting some of our servers. We apologise for the inconvenience caused.
UPDATE • 02:59 • 24 Nov 2025

Power and connectivity have been fully restored to the affected areas at Gallo Manor. Afrihost engineers are continuing to bring any remaining down servers back online and are verifying that all hosted services are operating normally.

UPDATE • 02:58 • 24 Nov 2025

Afrihost and MTN engineers are on site at Gallo Manor, still working to resolve the power and connectivity problems affecting multiple areas of our hosting environment as quickly as possible.

19:53 • 23 Nov 2025

We are aware of issues affecting both connectivity and power to specific sections of various environments at Gallo Manor. Our engineers are currently on-site at the data centre investigating the matter, and we are also working closely with our third-party providers to restore full functionality as quickly as possible.
 
Wouldnt it be dependent on what your domain is?

For IMAP I would go with:

Username: full email address all lower case
Password: Whatever you set
Incoming mailserver: mail.WHATEVERYOURDOMAINIS.com
Incoming port: 993 (With SSL)
Outgoing mailserver. mail.WHATEVERYOURDOMAINIS.com
Outgoing port: 465 (with SSL)

Or are they handing out @Afrihost addresses now :D

Don't know if this is still valid.
POP3 Server: dslmail.afrihost.co.za Port:110
SMTP Server: dslmail.afrihost.co.za Port:587

Can't connect to POP3 e-mail server.

error code Outlook 0x80042108

Don't use IMAP
 
Any updates?
Can't send emails :unsure:

Edit. Spoke via WhatsApp. Yes still down :cautious:
