E-mail

E-mail on MacOS works with IMAP and SMTP. These settings vary between providers so please ask your system administrator for the right IMAP and SMTP settings.

Intermesh uses:

Password Group-Office password
Incoming mail server (IMAP) imap.group-office.com on port 143
Outgoing mail server (SMTP) smtp.group-office.com on port 587
Encryption TLS Encryption for both servers
