How to add your Professional Email account to Windows Mail

Important: Professional Email needs to be added to your device as IMAP or POP. It is not compatible with Exchange.

If you have been migrated from Microsoft Email Essentials to Professional Email, you will need to migrate your calendars and contacts manually. Please check out Microsoft's guides on exporting and importing contacts and calendars.

You can add your Professional Email account to Windows Mail.

Our recommended settings are:

• IMAP
  • server: mail.wcg-mail.com
  • port: 993 (SSL encryption)
• SMTP
  • server: mail.wcg-mail.com
  • port 587 - encryption TLS
