Generic SMTP Setup

How to setup ImprovMX SMTP to work with any SMTP compatible client.

If you're attempting to set up ImprovMX SMTP in an app or service not covered by one of our guides, you can use the settings below as a reference.

Outbound Settings

If you haven't done so already, you'll need to create your SMTP credentials on your dashboard at app.improvmx.com.

1. Sign into your account at app.improvmx.com.

2. Click the settings cogwheel ⚙ next to your domain name → SMTP Credentials.

3. Fill in the username (alias) and password of your choice and click add.

Once created, fill in the SMTP settings for your SMTP service (i.e. gmail, thunderbird, etc.).

Field Value
Port/protocol 465/SSL or 587/TLS
Server smtp.improvmx.com
Username alias@yourdomain.com
Password The password you set earlier

‍

Inbound Settings

None! ImprovMX doesn't host mail so there are no applicable inbound settings for use with ImprovMX. You may use the destination settings (alias@yourdomain.com forwards-to destination@domain.com) of your alias for any inbound related business.
