Connecting Spark to TrekMail
Spark (by Readdle) will try to set your account up automatically from just the email and password. For a TrekMail domain you want the manual route instead, so you can point it at the right servers. The steps are the same on Mac, Windows, iPhone, and Android — only the menu wording shifts slightly.
Before you start
- Your full email address, e.g.
you@yourdomain.com— it's the username for both servers. - Your mailbox password (not your TrekMail dashboard login).
Add the account
- Open Settings → Accounts (or Add account on first launch) and choose Email account.
- Pick Set up account manually rather than letting Spark detect it.
- Enter your email address and mailbox password, then open Additional Settings — that's where you choose the servers, ports, and security.
Incoming server (IMAP)
- Server:
imap.trekmail.net - Port:
993 - Security: SSL
- Username: your full email address
Outgoing server (SMTP)
- Server:
smtp.trekmail.net - Port:
465with SSL — or587with STARTTLS - Username: your full email address
Tap Add (or Log in) and Spark verifies the account before it finishes.
Good to know
Spark only does IMAP — there's no POP3 option, which is fine because TrekMail is IMAP-first anyway. It also needs a secure connection and SMTP authentication, and TrekMail provides both, so nothing extra to toggle. If sign-in is refused, double-check the server names are exactly imap.trekmail.net and smtp.trekmail.net (not your own domain); if only sending fails, switch the SMTP port between 465 and 587. Anything else, send the error to support.
