We realize that valuable or sensitive data are often sent by e-mail. A non-secured access always creates a certain risk of detecting and misusing your password by a third party. A secured access does not allow capturing of your password. Therefore our service blocks a non-secured access to e-mail accounts and only allows a secured access through SSL.
In spite of the aforementioned protection, it is always necessary to keep passwords to e-mail accounts confidential. Shall you provide the password to a person, make sure they are trustworthy. We also recommend remembering a password instead of keeping it in your computer or writing it down somewhere.
Sending E-Mails
Electronic mail is sent by the SMTPS protocol SMTPS.
| Service | Server name | Port | Security | User name |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SMTPS | smtps.platon.sk | 587 | STARTTLS | Your e-mail address |
Receiving E-Mails
Receiving electronic mail is possible through the POP3S protocol or the IMAPS protocol.
| Service | Server name | Port | Security | User name |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| POP3S | pop3s.platon.sk | 995 | SSL/TLS | Your e-mail address |
| IMAPS | imaps.platon.sk | 993 | SSL/TLS | Your e-mail address |
mail.yourdomain.ext can also be used as the server name. We, however, recommend using server names *.platon.sk, which are secured by our professional SSL certificate that recognizes 99 % of e-mail clients.
In case you do not know the difference between POP3S and IMAPS protocols, or you have trouble deciding which one to use, we suggest reading the following article:
