How to set up WEB.DE in a mail app
- Choose add account → manual setup (or "other account") in your mail app.
- Enter your full WEB.DE email address and password.
- Pick IMAP for incoming mail and enter the server, port and security from the table above.
- Enter the SMTP server for outgoing mail (smtp.web.de, port 465) and enable authentication with the same login.
If the login keeps failing, enable IMAP/POP access in the WEB.DE web settings and use an app password if your account uses two-step verification.
