 +
 +=== Incoming Mail Server
 +* Read this first >> [[What are POP3 and IMAP, Which one should I use?]]
 +
 +POP
 +* port: ''993'' SSL/TLS  << **Try this first**
 +* port: ''110'' No-SSL
 +
 +IMAP
 +* server name: ''h12.hksx.com''
 +* port: ''995'' SSL/TLS
 +* port: ''143'' No-SSL
 +
 +=== Outgoing mail server
 +
 +SMTP
 +* port ''465'' SSL/TLS  << **Try this first**
 +* port ''587'' STARTLS or No-SSL << second choice
 +* port ''25'' STARTTLS or No-SSL
 +* port ''2525'' STARTTLS or No-SSL
 +
 +=== Common Problems
 +* Before setup, please try to login WebMail once, just to make sure your email address and password are correct!
 +* If error message was shown, please try to read it, or send it to us.
 +* If connection failed, but it ask for password, it means your password is wrong. (use copy-and-paste, do not type)
 +* If connection failed, but it does not ask for password, it means it is a connection problem, please try the other connection method (SSL/STARTTLS/No-SSL, etc)
 +
 +=== Why are there so many connection methods? Which one should I use? 
 +* Most people should try the SSL/TLS connection first. This method should work for 99% of modern devices.
 +* Some country/state/company firewall blocked one or the other ports. Some software/device/versions has "bug" in one or the other connection methods. That's why people invented different workaround methods. Please try other methods if SSL does not work for you.
