Generic email settings for sending and receiving email with AAISP

Outgoing email settings (Sending email) Read more...
Server	smtp.aa.net.uk	This is the server used for sending email from you to anyone else.
Port	587	Use 587, but port 25 can be used as an alternative if required.
Security	SSL/TLS	Use STARTTLS if using port 25
Authentication	Optional	If you are sending from outside an AAISP connection, then you will need to use your mailbox username and password to authenticate. In this case you will need to enable SSL/TLS or STARTTLS
Incoming email settings (Receiving email) Read more...
Type	IMAP or POP3	We recommend IMAP on port 995 but you can also use POP3. IMAP is ideal when using many computers/phones to access email. Read more here.
Port	IMAP: 993, POP3: 995	We do allow connections to POP3 on port 110 and IMAP on 143, but recommend the ports given as 110 and 143 may be removed in future.
Server	example.com.mail.aa.net.uk	This is the server used for retrieving email. Use your domain name (part after the @) followed by .mail.aa.net.uk.
Username	mailbox@example.com	This is the username to use when getting email and is just your email address. This can also be used as an outgoing mail username if you need one. (Case sensitive)
Password	********	The password you set on the mailbox. (Case sensitive)
Security	SSL/TLS	Use STARTTLS if using port 110 or 143
Webmail	https://mail.aa.net.uk
