Setup guide
Set Up Email in Outlook (IMAP Settings)
Outlook connects to Faivelo over IMAP in a couple of minutes. Faivelo publishes Autodiscover records for your domain, so recent Outlook versions often find every setting from just your email address and password — the manual steps below cover the rest.
| Server | Port | Security | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Incoming (IMAP) | mx.faivelo.com | 993 | SSL/TLS |
| Outgoing (SMTP) | mx.faivelo.com | 587 | STARTTLS |
Your username is always your full email address. The password is the mailbox password chosen when it was created.
Step by step
- Open Outlook
- Go to File > Add Account
- Enter you@yourdomain.com and click Connect
- Select IMAP
- For incoming mail server, enter mx.faivelo.com (port 993)
- For outgoing mail server, enter mx.faivelo.com (port 587)
- Enter your password and click Connect
Good to know
- Try the automatic path first: File → Add Account, type your address, click Connect, and enter the password when asked. Outlook reads our Autodiscover DNS records and fills the servers in itself.
- If Outlook keeps asking for the password, the username may be wrong — it must be the full email address, not a Windows or Microsoft account.
- New Outlook (the Windows 11 app) and classic Outlook both support IMAP; the menus differ slightly but the servers and ports are identical.
Common questions
What are the IMAP settings for Outlook?
Incoming (IMAP): mx.faivelo.com, port 993, SSL/TLS. Outgoing (SMTP): mx.faivelo.com, port 587, STARTTLS. Username is your full email address.
Outlook says "repeated redirects detected" or cannot find settings. What now?
Choose manual/advanced setup, pick IMAP, and enter the servers yourself: mx.faivelo.com with ports 993 (incoming) and 587 (outgoing).
Does my calendar sync into Outlook too?
Outlook connects to mail over IMAP; calendars live in Faivelo webmail. Many teams keep Outlook for mail and open webmail for calendar, or subscribe to the calendar feed.
Can I use the same account on Outlook mobile?
Yes — add an IMAP account in Outlook for iOS/Android with the same servers and your full address.
