Changing the email server in your email program

Changing the email server in your email program

When you move your email to Nordweb, you do not need to delete the old email account from your program. It is enough to change the incoming and outgoing mail server. The server name depends on which of our email services you have.

Which server is yours

If your domain has Nordweb hosting, email runs through the hosting. Otherwise it is a separate Nordweb Email service. If you are not sure which one you have, check the Email tab in your account.

Nordweb Emailposti.nordweb.fi
Hosting emailmail.nordweb.fi

The wrong server is not slow, it does not work at all: your mail is sent to a machine that has no mailbox for you.

Nordweb's server settings

Incoming mail (IMAP)port 993, SSL/TLS
Outgoing mail (SMTP)port 587 (STARTTLS) or 465 (SSL/TLS)
UsernameYour full email address (e.g. name@company.fi)
PasswordYour email account password

Tip

If the messages do not appear immediately, wait a moment - the email program reloads the messages from the server after the change. We recommend the IMAP protocol, so that messages stay stored on the server and available on all your devices.

If your business does not yet have its own email, take a look at business email.
