We have a website with a SSL certificate that is hosted by Afrihost on a Shared Linux Website Hosting Plan on a .co.za domain. The email accounts are set up as [email protected].

The Mail Clients for testing are Outlook (Windows) and Thunderbird (Both on Windows and on Ubuntu). The mail accounts and servers for testing are [email protected], [email protected] and our new account, [email protected].

However, we battle to get reliable email setups to communicate between all the email servers with all the email clients.

Where can I find the latest Email Client setups to ensure reliable email communications with our website ?

That includes the type of server, the name/ip address of the server, the connection security, the ports and the authorization requirements, as well as other parameters that are required for both the Incoming and Outgoing mail servers.

Thank you.
