If you’d rather manage your Libero Mail account inside another email app — Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, or a dedicated client — you can connect it using standard IMAP, POP, or SMTP settings instead of the Libero Mail app itself.
Why use a third-party client
Some people prefer a single desktop or mobile app that combines several email accounts from different providers, rather than switching between separate apps or browser tabs. Connecting Libero Mail through IMAP lets you do that while keeping your mail synced with the official Libero servers.
IMAP settings (recommended)
IMAP keeps your mail synchronized across every device, since messages stay on the server rather than downloading permanently to one device. Typical settings look like this:
- Incoming server (IMAP): imapmail.libero.it
- Port: 993 (SSL/TLS)
POP settings (alternative)
POP downloads messages to a single device and is mainly useful if you want a local backup or only ever check mail from one computer. Typical settings:
- Incoming server (POP): popmail.libero.it
- Port: 995 (SSL)
Outgoing mail (SMTP) settings
Whichever incoming method you choose, sending mail uses SMTP:
- Outgoing server (SMTP): smtp.libero.it
- Port: 465 (SSL, with authentication enabled)
When you need an app-specific password
If you’ve enabled two-step verification or a “Secure Password” feature on your account, your normal login password often won’t work in a third-party app. Look for an option like “app passwords” or “passwords for third-party apps” in your account security settings, and generate one specifically for the client you’re connecting.
General steps to add the account
- Open your email client’s “Add account” or “Add email” option
- Choose to configure settings manually (rather than automatic setup) if the option is offered
- Enter the IMAP or POP details above for incoming mail
- Enter the SMTP details above for outgoing mail
- Use your full Libero Mail address as the username, and your password or app-specific password as needed
Frequently asked questions
Should I use IMAP or POP for Libero Mail?
IMAP is recommended for most people since it keeps mail synced across multiple devices; POP is better suited to single-device setups or local backups.
Why won’t my password work in a third-party app?
If two-step verification or Secure Password is enabled on your account, you’ll likely need to generate a dedicated app-specific password instead of using your regular login password.
Can I use these settings with any email client?
Yes, these are standard IMAP/POP/SMTP settings that work with virtually any modern email client that supports manual account setup.
