Set up NetEase 126 Mail (126.com)
in any email app.
The correct IMAP, POP3 and SMTP settings for NetEase 126 Mail (126.com). Use these with BlueMail, Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird or any other mail client.
Instead of using 126.com's webmail interface, you can use a mobile or desktop email app like BlueMail, Outlook, Apple Mail or Mozilla Thunderbird. Desktop email apps offer more features, faster access and offline reading. Your messages are right there even without a connection.
How to set up 126.com in BlueMail
- Get BlueMail. Install BlueMail free on iOS, Android, Mac, Windows or Linux, or open web.bluemail.me in your browser.
- Add your account. Open BlueMail and tap Add Account, then choose Email.
- Sign in with your 126.com address. Enter your full 126.com email address and password.
- Let BlueMail find the settings. BlueMail detects the correct 126.com servers automatically. If you're asked to enter them manually, use the settings below: incoming imap.126.com and outgoing smtp.126.com exactly as listed.
- Done. Your 126.com inbox appears and stays in sync on every device you sign in on.
First, enable IMAP and create an authorization password
126 Mail runs on NetEase's platform, and client access is off by default: in webmail (mail.126.com) open 设置 → POP3/SMTP/IMAP, enable the IMAP/SMTP service, then click 新增授权密码 to create an authorization password (授权码) — mail apps sign in with that code instead of your mailbox password. It's shown once and can't be recovered, only replaced. Use the SSL settings below exactly; NetEase's own guide warns against STARTTLS.
