Now you can access your MyEmail on your smartphone!


One of the most requested feature that myemail users keeps asking us is "How can I access myemail from my smartphone" or "How can I read myemail messages from my desktop email application?" Well now you can!
We've made improvements to our password management on myemail and at the same time enable POP access to our users. So now you can access your myemail messages from any smartphone mail application (iOS devices, Android or Blackberry), desktop mail client (Outlook or Thunderbird) and even other email providers (Gmail or Yahoo)
All you need to do is add your myemail account in your mail client with the following settings:
  • Incoming server: pop3.live.com, port 995
  • Outgoing server: smtp.live.com, port 25
Just remember to put in your full myemail username (for example kamarul@myemail.my) and password. All incoming server connections require SSL. Here are instructions on how to configure it on your Microsoft Outlook, also available on our FAQ.
