How to set up Rediffmail in a mail app

  1. Choose add account → manual setup (or "other account") in your mail app.
  2. Enter your full Rediffmail email address and password.
  3. Pick POP3 for incoming mail and enter the server, port and security from the table above.
  4. Enter the SMTP server for outgoing mail (smtp.rediffmail.com, port 586) and enable authentication with the same login.

If the login keeps failing, enable IMAP/POP access in the Rediffmail web settings and use an app password if your account uses two-step verification.

Settings from the Mozilla Thunderbird ISP database (MPL 2.0), which mail clients use for automatic setup.

Rediffmail email settings: FAQ

What is the Rediffmail SMTP server?

The outgoing (SMTP) server of Rediffmail is smtp.rediffmail.com, port 586 with SSL/TLS. Log in with your full email address.

Why does my Rediffmail login fail in a mail app?

Most providers block plain password logins from mail apps when two-step verification is on. Create an app-specific password in your account's security settings, or use an app that supports OAuth sign-in. Also check that IMAP or POP access is enabled in the webmail settings.
