Introduction

Your Privacy-Focused Email Solution As a privacy advocate, we´re excited to help you set up your 1984.is email account. Our service is designed for those who value security and privacy in their digital communications. Let us walk you through the essential configuration details to get you connected properly.

Important Server Information for All 1984 Email Services

The following paragraph applies to all the 1984 E-mail services:

 

For incoming mail, you’ll need to use our server address mail.1984.is.

This server handles your incoming messages through either IMAP (port 143) or POP (port 110), depending on your preference.

You can also use mail.1984.is as your outgoing mail server, but you must enable authentication and connect through either port 578 or 465 instead of the standard port 25.

This added security measure helps protect your communications.

When authenticating with either our incoming or outgoing mail services, remember that your username must always be your complete email address (for example, yourname@1984.is).
