Configuring Outlook for Android App to Use SMTP without Mailbox in Plesk

Before you begin, make sure you have entered the correct email address and password. Enter the full email address you have set up for your domain. If you are using a newer version of the Outlook app, please note that it may be significantly different from previous versions. For this example, we will use the latest version available as of this date: 4.2138.0.

To connect to your Plesk email hosting or Plesk Linux web hosting service without an associated mailbox, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Install the Outlook for Android app from the Google Play Store.

2. Open the app and select 'Manual Setup' instead of using the auto-configure option.

3. Select IMAP as your account type.

To configure your Plesk email hosting or Plesk Linux web hosting service, you will need to specify the server names in the 'Advanced Settings'. If you do not have an SSL certificate for your domain name, you can use Hosting.ca's SSL certificate instead.

It is important to note that the above mail server names should only be used if you have a wildcard SSL certificate associated with your domain name. For best practices and easier setup, we recommend adding the necessary DNS entries before attempting to configure your email hosting or Linux web hosting service.

In our example, we will demonstrate how to use the IMAP method to connect to an IMAP mailbox using encryption on Plesk email hosting or Plesk Linux web hosting services. This process can be applied to both Plesk email hosting and Linux web hosting services provided by Hosting.ca.
