If you require mailboxes with storage space for your e-mails
in addition to the included e-mail forwarding, you can add
mailbox packages to your domain
(for an extra charge).
To do so when creating or modifying a domain, select the option
„Expert mode“
and therein „Using Knipp's name servers“.
Then activate the option „Mailboxes“ and select the mailbox
package you need.
Below that, you can set the user name (login), the first/last name and the
access password for each mailbox.
The mailboxes each offer 1 GB of Storage („Fair
Use“ Policy) in our ISO 27001 certified data center within
Germany, which is operated independently by us with 100% green electricity
and in accordance with the EU GDPR.
Please follow these instructions for setting up your mailbox in
e-mail applications (Thunderbird, Outlook, etc.). The technical data of the
respective mailboxes for sending (SMTP) or reading emails (IMAP)
are identical for all users (except for the user names and passwords).
If your e-mail application does not automatically detect the correct mail
server, you can use the following settings manually to set up the mailbox:
Settings for receiving e-mails
IMAP server: post.knipp.de
Port: 993 (TCP)
Transport: SSL/TLS
User name: corresponds to the e-mail address
(with domain, e.g. benutzer@example.net)
Password: corresponds to the password
set in the DRS
Settings for sending e-mails
SMTP server: post.knipp.de
Port: 465 (TCP)
Transport: STARTTLS
User name: corresponds to the e-mail address
(with domain, e.g. benutzer@example.net)
Password: corresponds to the password
set in the DRS
If TCP port 465 is not accessible due to firewalls on the client side,
TCP port 587 can be used (also with STARTTLS) as an alternative for
SMTP.
If Outlook is used as a client, SPA (Secure Password Authentication)
must not be activated.
If you'd like to read and send your emails in a web browser,
please use our web mailer at
https://post.knipp.de.
Please use the full e-mail address
(with domain, e.g. user@example.net) as the user name and
your mailbox password to log in.
