Connect an OVHcloud mailbox
Server names, ports and the app-password question for OVHcloud and Zimbra accounts.
Updated October 27, 2026
Settings Mailbind uses
Type your address and Mailbind fills the servers in. For OVHcloud they are:
| Server | Port | Security | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Incoming (IMAP) | imap.mail.ovh.net |
993 | SSL/TLS |
| Outgoing (SMTP) | smtp.mail.ovh.net |
465 | SSL/TLS |
Your username is the full address, and the password is the mailbox password you set in the OVHcloud control panel — OVHcloud does not use app passwords.
If the test fails
- Password rejected: reset it in the OVHcloud panel (Web Cloud → Emails → the account → Change password), then try again.
- Connection refused on 465: some networks block 465; try 587 with STARTTLS.
- Zimbra / Exchange plans use different hosts — look for "IMAP" in the plan's documentation and type them under Other.
