Mail.ru appeared 20 years ago and today is one of the most popular free services. To increase the convenience and speed of using this service, you can use any email client for a PC or smartphone. How to do this will be described in detail in the article.
Setting Options
To use an email from Mail.ru in a mail program, you need to know the parameters for connecting to the server. For this mail service they are:
- Address of POP3 incoming message server: pop.mail.ru.
- Port for POP3:995.
- IMAP4 incoming server address: imap.mail.ru.
- IMAP port: 993.
- Outgoing SMTP server address: smtp.mail.ru.
- SMTP port: 465.
- Encryption: SSL/TSL.
- Authentication method: normal password.
These parameters are also suitable for non-standard e-mail addresses used on this mail service: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected].
POP3 and IMAP4 protocols differ from each other in the way they interact with the server. ATIn the first case, letters are loaded into the computer's memory using an email client. On the server, they are deleted.
In the second case, the letters are copied to the hard disk of the PC with the mail program, remaining on the server. Also, the IMAP4 protocol supports synchronization with the mail service. This means that all actions with letters on the local machine will be duplicated on the server. This also works in the opposite direction, that is, when mail is deleted from the server, it will also be deleted on the user's computer.
