# Email Setup Guide — Western Tire / westerntire.com
**Date:** April 2026
**Prepared by:** Arizona Computer Guru

## What Changed
Your email has been moved to a new mail server. Your email address, password, and all of your existing messages are unchanged — only the server settings in your email program need to be updated.
If your email is still working, you may have been updated automatically. If you are having trouble sending or receiving, use the settings below to update your mail client.

## New Mail Server Settings
Use these settings for all email accounts @westerntire.com:
| 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 (e.g. yourname@westerntire.com) |
| **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. POP3 downloads and removes mail from the server.

## Old Settings to Remove
If your client was previously configured with any of the following, replace them with the settings above:
- `websvr.acghosting.com`
- `mail.acghosting.com`
- Any IP address (e.g. 162.248.93.81)
