Email connections

Last Updated : Jun 05, 2026 |

You can add, modify, and delete the configuration of an email connection on the Email Connections Web page.

An email connection specifies the configuration parameters an email processor uses to connect with an email server. The email processor and the email server interact over the SMTP protocol for sending messages and over the IMAP4 or POP3 protocol for receiving messages.

An email connection can belong to a zone. The email processor will use email connections that belong to the same zone as the email processor server.
