Enabling SSL in your mail client

How can I enable SSL on my email client?

CRAM-MD5 is an outdated method of authentication that some mail clients use in order to connect to your mailbox. On Thursday 25th February 2016, Fasthosts will disable support for CRAM-MD5 in-line with industry standards.

Before that date, you can still use your existing settings on your various devices.  However, if you haven't changed them at some point before this date, you will no longer be able to access your email.

We have also produced a set of step-by-step guides to help you reconfigure the most common email products we get asked to help with.

While we don't expect you to encounter any problems when changing your settings, we do suggest making a note of your alterations.  Then if anything does go wrong, you can then switch back and still access your email.

Step by step guides

We have produced several guides on how to reconfigure the more popular software and devices to use SSL.  Each will guide you through the reconfiguration step-by-step.  We have also produced several video tutorials that will walk you through the changes.

General settings

If you are not using these common products, here are the generic settings you will need to use.We have a list of popular mail clients on the submenu on the right please choose yours and click the link.

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine.

I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents. I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now.

When, while the lovely valley teems with vapour around me, and the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable foliage of my trees, and but a few stray gleams steal into the inner sanctuary, I throw myself down among the tall grass by the trickling stream; and, as I lie close to the earth, a thousand unknown plants are noticed by me: when I hear the buzz of the little world among the stalks, and grow familiar with the countless indescribable forms of the insects and flies, then I feel the presence of the Almighty, who formed us in his own image.
