How to setup your IMAP Emails

Email Help

Your website comes with an email address. For example: [email protected]

You can have any text before: @yourdomain.co.uk

Your email account password will be sent via WhatsApp as this is a secure way to communicate passwords. You can change your password at any time.

How to Access Your Emails

  1. From My Website

Go to https://luminitedesign.co.uk/ and click EMAIL LOGIN from the Home menu item.
Tip 1: You can always save this direct server link to your bookmarks and use it just like Gmail.
Tip 2: This WebMail allows you to pick up your emails directly from the server from anywhere in the world.
Tip 3: Checking whether this can send and receive emails is a good troubleshooting step to determine whether a problem is on your side or the server side.

  1. By WebMail (On any Web Browser example Edge, Firefox, Safari or Chrome)

You add the word ‘webmail.’ before your domain.

Example: https://webmail.yourdomain.co.uk

Your username is your full email address. Example: [email protected]

Your password: Sent via WhatsApp

  1. By adding the IMAP Email Account to any Device or Email Program (Example: iPhone, iPad, Samsung, Windows Mail, Mac Mail)

IMAP Settings

Secure SSL/TLS Settings (Recommended)

Username: [email protected]

Password: Use the email account’s password.

Incoming Server: mail.yourdomain.co.uk

IMAP Port: 993 POP3 Port: 995

Outgoing Server: mail.yourdomain.co.uk

SMTP Port: 465

IMAP, POP3, and SMTP require authentication.

Troubleshooting Tip 1

Tip 1: If your emails don’t immediately work, double check all settings and port numbers, if you are still struggling you can try changing the incoming and outgoing mail servers to: luminite.directrouter.com. In most cases, this is an immediate fix.

Troubleshooting Tip 2

It is recommended to test your login information using my website in step one before you manually add your email address.  

If you haven’t done this, and you try to log in multiple times with incorrect details, then my server will block you for security reasons.  

In this case, you will need my assistance and I will need your IP address.  Visit Find Your IP Address and send me your IP address via WhatsApp 07958 293 971.  I will immediately respond and unblock you so you can try again.
