Mail settings for vh-c.be
Most apps configure themselves — just enter your email address and password. Thunderbird (desktop and Android), K-9 Mail and FairEmail all do. These settings are for apps that don't, such as the Gmail app and Samsung Email.
Incoming mail (IMAP)
| Server | mx.vh-c.be |
|---|---|
| Port | 993 |
| Security | SSL/TLS (not STARTTLS) |
| Username | your full email address |
| Authentication | Normal password |
Outgoing mail (SMTP)
| Server | mx.vh-c.be |
|---|---|
| Port | 465 |
| Security | SSL/TLS (not STARTTLS) |
| Username | your full email address |
| Authentication | Normal password — required |
Calendar and contacts
| CalDAV | https://mx.vh-c.be/dav/cal |
|---|---|
| CardDAV | https://mx.vh-c.be/dav/card |
On Android these need a third-party app such as DAVx5; Android has no built-in CalDAV or CardDAV support.
Two things that catch people out:
The username is your full email address, not just the part before the @.
Outgoing mail must be port 465 with SSL/TLS. Many apps default to port 587 with STARTTLS, which this server does not offer — sending will fail with a misleading "cannot connect" error.
On an iPhone or iPad, don't use these settings — get the configuration profile instead, which sets everything up in one step.
