Connecting Mailspring to TrekMail

Mailspring keeps a tidy list of the big providers on its sign-in screen, but TrekMail isn't one of the presets — and it doesn't need to be. There's an IMAP / SMTP option for exactly this. Pick it and fill in the four lines below.

Before you start

Your full email address, e.g. you@yourdomain.com — this is the username for both servers.
Your mailbox password (set when the mailbox was created, not your dashboard login).

Add the account

On the welcome screen choose Add Account. If Mailspring is already open, use the menu bar: Mailspring → Add Account… (macOS) or File → Add Account (Windows/Linux).
From the provider list pick IMAP / SMTP.
Enter your name, full email address, and mailbox password.

Incoming mail (IMAP)

Server: imap.trekmail.net
Port: 993
Security: SSL/TLS
Username: your full email address

Outgoing mail (SMTP)

Server: smtp.trekmail.net
Port: 465 with SSL/TLS — or 587 with STARTTLS
Username: your full email address

Click Connect Account. Mailspring checks both servers before it finishes, so if it accepts the account you're done — the inbox syncs straight away.

If it won't connect

The server names must be exactly imap.trekmail.net and smtp.trekmail.net — using your own domain there won't work. If the incoming side connects but sending is rejected, swap the SMTP port between 465 and 587. Mailspring routes some features through its own sync service; the IMAP/SMTP connection to TrekMail itself is direct, so a rejected login is almost always a typo in the server name, username, or password. Still stuck? Send us the error on a support ticket.
