Can't connect?
If you get a connection error or authentication failure:
- Double-check the server address — it should be
mail.YOUR_DOMAIN.woodhead.tech, notmail.yourdomain.com - Confirm your password is correct — try logging in at the webmail URL first
- Make sure port 993 (IMAP) and 587 (SMTP) aren't blocked by your network or firewall
- Email brandon@woodhead.tech if you're still stuck — include a screenshot of the error
