How to set up OquMail on Outlook Mobile (iOS/Android)

You can read and send OquMail from Outlook Mobile (iOS/Android) in a couple of minutes. OquMail is a standard IMAP/SMTP host, so Outlook Mobile (iOS/Android) treats it like any other real mailbox — no plugin, no bridge. Here is the exact path and the settings that matter.

Quick summary

• Incoming (IMAP): mail.oqumail.com, port 993, SSL/TLS
• Outgoing (SMTP): mail.oqumail.com, port 587, STARTTLS
• Username: your full email address (you@yourdomain.com)
• Password: the same password you use for OquMail webmail
• Double-check the username is your full address, including the @yourdomain.com part.

Where to add the account in Outlook Mobile (iOS/Android)

Open Outlook app → Add Account → Add Email Account → IMAP. When it asks for an account type, choose IMAP so your mail stays in sync across every device.

OquMail connection settings

• Incoming (IMAP): mail.oqumail.com, port 993, SSL/TLS
• Outgoing (SMTP): mail.oqumail.com, port 587, STARTTLS
• Username: your full email address (you@yourdomain.com)
• Password: the same password you use for OquMail webmail

The setting people get wrong

On port 587 choose STARTTLS, not SSL/TLS. Picking SSL on 587 is the single most common setup mistake and it makes sending silently fail.

A note specific to Outlook Mobile (iOS/Android)

Enter your address, tap "Add Account", then choose IMAP when prompted for account type; do not let it default to a Microsoft sync.

If it will not connect

• Double-check the username is your full address, including the @yourdomain.com part.
• Confirm incoming is 993/SSL/TLS and outgoing is 587/STARTTLS.
• If sending fails but receiving works, the SMTP security is almost always set to SSL instead of STARTTLS.
• Make sure your domain is verified in OquMail first — a client cannot log in to a mailbox that is not live yet.
