Email server settings
IMAP, POP3, SMTP, CalDAV and CardDAV server names, ports and encryption settings for WebGee mailboxes.
Server names, ports and encryption settings for WebGee Workspace mailboxes. Use these when a mail app cannot detect its own settings, or when you are setting up an account by hand.
Most mail apps find these automatically — you usually only need your full email address and mailbox password. See Set up email on Mac and iPhone, Set up email on Android or Set up email in eM Client.
Incoming mail
Choose IMAP if you read mail on more than one device, which is almost always the right answer. POP3 downloads messages to a single device and removes them from the server.
| Protocol | Encryption | Server | Port |
|---|---|---|---|
| IMAP | SSL/TLS | mail.webgee.com | 993 |
| IMAP | STARTTLS | mail.webgee.com | 143 |
| POP3 | SSL/TLS | mail.webgee.com | 995 |
| POP3 | STARTTLS | mail.webgee.com | 110 |
Outgoing mail
| Protocol | Encryption | Server | Port |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMTP | SSL/TLS | mail.webgee.com | 465 |
| SMTP | STARTTLS | mail.webgee.com | 587 |
Outgoing mail always requires authentication. Use the same username and password as your incoming mail.
Username and password
- Username — your full email address, including the domain.
- Password — your mailbox password, which is not your WebGee account password.
Set the authentication method to Normal password or Plain, whichever your app calls it.
"Plain" sounds insecure but is not. The connection is encrypted by TLS before authentication begins, and the server refuses to authenticate over an unencrypted connection at all — so your password is never sent in the clear.
Calendars and contacts
WebGee Workspace serves calendars over CalDAV and contacts over CardDAV. Replace
you@example.com with your own address:
| Type | URL |
|---|---|
| CalDAV | https://webmail.webgee.com/SOGo/dav/you@example.com/Calendar/personal/ |
| CardDAV | https://webmail.webgee.com/SOGo/dav/you@example.com/Contacts/personal/ |
Some apps want the account root instead of a specific collection. Use
https://webmail.webgee.com/SOGo/dav/ and let the app discover what is there.
To find the exact URL of a calendar you have created yourself, open webmail, go to Calendar, and copy the link from the calendar's properties.
Check it worked
Send yourself a message from webmail and confirm it arrives, then reply to it from your mail app and confirm the reply arrives too. That exercises incoming and outgoing separately, which tells you which half to look at if something is wrong.
