Xplornet Mail powered by Google Apps - Third Party Client FAQ

I am using an email program other than Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Outlook, Outlook Express or Windows Live Mail, what should I do?



Due to the number of email programs that are available in the market today, we are not able to provide step-by-step directions for all of them. We have only provided step-by-step instructions for the five email programs that are most commonly used by Xplornet customers. However, Gmail provides more information and configuration specifications at http://mail.google.com/support/a/xplornet.ca/bin/topic.py?hl=en&topic=12805.

The following table lists POP port and server settings that you can use to configure other POP-based email programs. 

  • E-mail address: Username@xplornet.ca
  • Incoming Mail (POP3) - pop.gmail.com
  • Outgoing Mail (SMTP) - smtp.gmail.com
  • My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication = true
  • This server requires a secure connection (SSL) = true (both incoming and outgoing)
  • Outgoing mail port = 465
  • Incoming mail port = 995
