POP3S & IMAPS

Read catch-all mail in a mail client

MailBots is receive-only. Use IMAPS for synchronized folders or POP3S when an automation tool needs to download messages.

Note

Ports 143, 110, 465 and 587 are not available. MailBots does not provide outbound SMTP.

Catch-all addresses and login

After activation, mail sent to any local part at the connected subdomain is delivered to the same mailbox—for example build-102@otp.example.com and checkout-test@otp.example.com.

Those recipient addresses are not usernames. Always authenticate with the generated mbx_… login shown in the dashboard.

Generic client setup

  1. Choose manual account configuration and select IMAP or POP3.
  2. Enter the server, encrypted port, full generated username and password exactly as shown above.
  3. Disable outgoing mail or leave SMTP unconfigured. Test receiving with a new external message.
  4. If authentication fails after rotation, remove the saved password from the client and enter the new one.
