The DNS records required for mail are added automatically to every new domain created in the panel.
If you are using an external DNS provider then you will need to make sure you input the following records in your external providers DNS zone
SPF
v=spf1 +include:mxroute.com -all
DMARC
v=DMARC1; p=quarantine;
A Record
mail.yourdomain.com.au - 194.29.100.201 (This is an example, you can find the IP address for your specific domain in the control panel)
You can activate DKIM in the 'Domain' section of the websites panel, which will reveal the required DNS records.
If your website's nameservers are pointing to Web Host Wizards already, you only need to activate DKIM and the rest is automatic.
If you are using an external DNS provider, you will need to manually input the respective records shown in your domain panel, into your external DNS provider's DNS Zone
Note: The above records are for example purposes only. Do not input the above records.
You can find the link to Web Host Wizards webmail in the 'Emails' tab. Websites > Your Website > Emails.
Alternatively you can go directly to - magicmail.webhostwizards.net.au and sign in with your email/password.
You can find IMAP/POP3 details by navigating to Emails > Your Email > Email Client Settings at the very bottom of the screen.
To receive mail in your 3rd party mail client you can use port 993 or 995
To send mail through your 3rd party mail client you can use port 587 or 465
Unfortunately you will need to test yourself which port is working, as it can differ depending on the mail client. We recommend 995 and 587 respectively. We understand our control panel states otherwise in the settings, however this is Enhance control panels default setting and we are unable to change it.

*Please note that our support for 3rd party mail clients is limited. If the emails are working through our webmail instance at Web Host Wizards without issue, then it is most likely an error with the specific mail client or incorrect connection details. Need help?
Web Host Wizards' support for email is limited. We utilize MXroute as our email partner. All emails pass through MXroute filters when sending and receiving mail. For third-party mail client connections, such as Gmail and Outlook, we can assist with all records. However, there is little we can do if all records are correct and mail is not sending to certain domains/email accounts or if the mail software is rejecting our inputs and server connection.
