The Technical Essentials (The “Cheat Sheet”)
If you are comfortable with manual configuration, here are the core settings you’ll need. The most critical piece of advice? Your username is always your full email address.
| Setting | Configuration |
|---|---|
| Username | Your full email address (e.g., na**@********in.com) |
| Incoming Server (IMAP) | us2.workspace.org |
| Incoming Port | 993 (Security: SSL/TLS) |
| Outgoing Server (SMTP) | us2.workspace.org |
| Outgoing Port | 465 (Security: SSL/TLS) |
| Authentication | Required for both Incoming and Outgoing |
Step-by-Step: Adding Email to Your iPhone (iOS)
iOS is a favorite for mobile productivity. To add your Well Dressed Walrus account:
- Open Settings and tap Mail.
- Tap Accounts > Add Account.
- Choose Other (bottom of the list) and select Add Mail Account.
- Enter your Name, Email, and Password. Tap Next.
- Select IMAP at the top.
- Under both Incoming and Outgoing Mail Server sections, enter us2.workspace.org as the Host Name.
- Enter your full email address as the username for both sections.
- Tap Next to verify. Once the blue checkmarks appear, tap Save.
Step-by-Step: Adding Email to Your Android Device
While Android interfaces vary, the Gmail App is the most common way to manage external accounts:
- Open the Gmail app and tap your profile picture/icon in the top right corner.
- Tap Add another account > Other.
- Enter your full email address and select Manual Setup at the bottom.
- Select Personal (IMAP) and enter your password.
- In the Incoming Server settings, ensure the server is us2.workspace.org and the Security Type is SSL/TLS.
- In the Outgoing Server settings, verify the SMTP server is us2.workspace.org and the Security Type is SSL/TLS.
- Tap Next to complete the sync.
Why Well Dressed Walrus Email?
By hosting with us, you aren’t just getting an inbox; you’re getting a secure, reliable communication channel backed by our dedicated support. We utilize SSL/TLS encryption for all connections to ensure your business data stays private and protected.
Common Troubleshooting Tips
- Double-check the Username: If it fails to connect, ensure you typed the entire email address as the username.
- SMTP Authentication: Always ensure the “Outgoing Server Requires Authentication” box is checked. It uses the same login credentials as your incoming mail.
- Port Numbers: If your app doesn’t automatically detect them, manually enter 993 for incoming and 465 for outgoing.
