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)
