How to Configure EarthLink Email on Email Clients & Third-Party Apps?

Step 1: - Launch Your Email Program

Start by opening the email client/app where you want to add your EarthLink account. Ensure that the application supports standard email protocols - IMAP and SMTP.

This includes applications - Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Regzion Software, and others.

Step 2: - Input EarthLink Login Credentials

• Email Address: Enter your complete EarthLink address (e.g. yourname@earthlink.net)
• Password: Type the password linked to your EarthLink email account.

Step 3: - Enter IMAP and SMTP Configuration

Provide the following server settings when prompted by your email client:
• IMAP Server: imap.earthlink.net
• IMAP Port: 993 (SSL/TLS)
• SMTP Server: smtpauth.earthlink.net
• SMTP Port: 587 (STARTTLS recommended)
• Encryption: Use SSL/TLS for IMAP and STARTTLS for SMTP
• Username: Full EarthLink email address (same as above)

Step 4: - Complete Configuration and Sync

Click the "Done", "Add Account", or equivalent option to finalize the setup. The application will verify the information and begin syncing your emails and folders.

Once connected, you'll be able to send, receive, and manage EarthLink emails directly within your chosen application.
