In order to better protect your e-mail communication, we have made some changes to the way you can access your email inbox in browser or in an email client. As such, Business Catalyst has created a dedicated secure domain for email which will be restricted to use only SSL/TLS encryption for both incoming and outgoing communication. The new domain will be used to access your email from browser and email client as well.
Starting on April 15th, 2016 you will no longer be able to continue using the existing email client settings. Please update your e-mail service according to the instructions below:
Inbound (receive emails)
- Inbound Server:mail.worldsecureemail.com
- Inbound Server Type: IMAPS (993) / POP (995)
- User Name: username@mydomain.com
- Connection Security: SSL/TLS
- Authentication Method: Normal Password
Outbound (send emails)
- Outbound Server: mail.worldsecureemail.com
- Outbound Server Type: SMTPS (465)
- User Name: username@mydomain.com
- Connection Security: SSL/TLS
- Authentication Method: Normal Password
For more details on how to update your email client settings, follow the steps described in the Business Catalyst How to configure SSL encryption for your email client article.
You will also be required to use https://mail.worldsecureemail.com for accessing your mailbox using a web browser. Please note that site administrators will still be able to use the Admin Console and access their mailbox through Single Sign On as before.
Important:
The current mailbox settings will continue to work until April 15th, 2016. After this date, you will not be able to send or receive messages using your email client, unless you change your connection settings. Furthermore, mail.mydomain.com will be automatically redirected to the https://mail.worldsecureemail.com from then on.
We also strongly advise you to change your email password, by logging into webmail (using https://mail.worldsecureemail.com) and browsing to Settings -> Password. There you will be able to set a new password for accessing your mailbox.
