What Changed
Your email has been moved to a new mail server. Your email address, password, and all existing messages are unchanged — only the server settings in your email program need to be updated.
If your email stopped working or you are having trouble sending, follow the steps below for your email client.
If you configured Gmail to send or receive your @westerntire.com email, you will need to update those settings too — see the Gmail section below.
New Server Settings
Use these settings for all @westerntire.com accounts:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Incoming server (IMAP) | mail.westerntire.com |
| IMAP port | 993 |
| IMAP security | SSL / TLS |
| Incoming server (POP3) | mail.westerntire.com |
| POP3 port | 995 |
| POP3 security | SSL / TLS |
| Outgoing server (SMTP) | mail.westerntire.com |
| SMTP port | 587 |
| SMTP security | STARTTLS |
| Username | Your full email address |
| Password | Unchanged — same as before |
| Authentication | Normal password |
IMAP is recommended over POP3. IMAP keeps your mail on the server so you can access it from multiple devices and your messages stay in sync. POP3 downloads mail to one device and removes it from the server.
Old settings to replace
If you see any of these in your current setup, replace them with mail.westerntire.com:
websvr.acghosting.comOLDmail.acghosting.comOLD- Any IP address (e.g.
162.248.93.81) OLD
Gmail — Send/Receive from Your westerntire.com Address
If you use Gmail and have it set up to check or send mail as your @westerntire.com address, you need to update both the mail fetcher (incoming) and the "Send mail as" settings (outgoing).
Step 1 — Update the incoming mail fetcher (POP3)
- In Gmail, click the gear icon (top right) → See all settings
- Click the Accounts and Import tab
- Under "Check mail from other accounts", find your @westerntire.com address and click edit info
- Change the mail server to
mail.westerntire.com - Port:
995• Check "Always use a secure connection (SSL)" - Click Save Changes
Step 2 — Update outgoing "Send mail as" (SMTP)
- In the same Accounts and Import tab, find your @westerntire.com address under "Send mail as"
- Click edit info next to it
- Click Next Step
- Change the SMTP server to
mail.westerntire.com - Port:
587• Select TLS - Username: your full email address • Password: unchanged
- Click Save Changes
After saving, Gmail may send a verification email to your @westerntire.com address to confirm the new settings. Check your inbox and click the confirmation link if prompted.
