**Yes.** Ruachost cPanel email supports encrypted connections with TLS (often still called SSL) for **IMAP**, **POP3** and **SMTP**. This keeps your password and messages private between your mail app and our server.

Use these settings in your mail app:

| Protocol | Server | Port | Security |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| IMAP | `mail.yourdomain.com` | 993 | SSL/TLS |
| POP3 | `mail.yourdomain.com` | 995 | SSL/TLS |
| SMTP | `mail.yourdomain.com` | 465 | SSL/TLS |
| SMTP (alternative) | `mail.yourdomain.com` | 587 | STARTTLS |
| SMTP (if your network blocks the others) | `mail.yourdomain.com` | 2525 | STARTTLS |

Use your full email address as the username. Webmail is also always reached over a secure HTTPS connection.
