Connect Davnode to Other Clients

If you are using an email client not covered in our specific guides (such as Spark, Samsung Email, Airmail, or Evolution on Linux), use the manual configuration settings below.

​
Server Settings Reference (Cheat Sheet)

Most email clients will ask for an “Advanced” or “Manual” setup. Enter these values exactly as they appear.

​
Incoming Mail (IMAP)

Recommended for syncing emails across multiple devices (phone, laptop, tablet).

​
Outgoing Mail (SMTP)

Required to send emails. If port 465 is blocked on your network, try port 8465 with SSL/TLS or port 587 with STARTTLS.

​
Generic Setup Guide

While menus vary by app, the general process is almost always the same:
  1. Add Account: Look for “Settings” > “Accounts” > “Add Account”.
  2. Select Type: Choose IMAP (sometimes listed as “Other” or “Internet Email”).
    • Avoid selecting POP3.
  3. Enter Credentials: Type your name, full email address, and password.
  4. Manual Config: If the app tries to auto-detect settings, look for a button that says “Manual setup”, “Advanced settings”, or “Show details”.
  5. Input Server Details: Copy the Hostname (mail.davnode.com) and Ports (993 / 465) from the reference table above.
  6. Authenticate: Ensure the “Outgoing Server requires authentication” box is checked.
We recommend to always use an app password for connecting mail clients.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

​
”Authentication Failed”

  • Username: Ensure you are using your full email address as the username, not just the part before the @.
  • Hidden Spaces: If copying and pasting, check that you didn’t accidentally copy a blank space at the end of the password or hostname.

​
”Connection Refused” or “Cannot Verify Server”

  • Port Mismatch: Check that you selected SSL/TLS for port 465.
    • If you selected STARTTLS, you must use port 587.
    • Davnode recommends Port 465 (SSL/TLS) for the best compatibility.
If port 465 is blocked on your network, try port 8465 with SSL/TLS or port 587 with STARTTLS.

​
”Certificate Warning”

  • If you see a warning about the certificate not matching, ensure the Server Hostname is set to mail.davnode.com.
