Setting up your email

These settings are the same for every mailbox. Only the email address and password change.

Incoming mail (IMAP)

Outgoing mail (SMTP)

Your website sends mail by connecting to the SMTP server above. No special API is needed, because every language and CMS supports SMTP. Pick your platform:

WordPress

Install the free WP Mail SMTP plugin, choose Other SMTP, then enter: host mail.mailions.com, encryption TLS, port 587, authentication on, and your email and password. Set From Email to the same mailbox. Then use the plugin's Email Test tab.

PHP (PHPMailer)

<?php
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
require 'vendor/autoload.php';   // composer require phpmailer/phpmailer

$mail = new PHPMailer(true);
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host       = 'mail.mailions.com';
$mail->Port       = 587;
$mail->SMTPSecure = PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_STARTTLS;
$mail->SMTPAuth   = true;
$mail->Username   = getenv('SMTP_USER');   // [email protected]
$mail->Password   = getenv('SMTP_PASS');

$mail->setFrom('[email protected]', 'Your Company');
$mail->addAddress('[email protected]');
$mail->addReplyTo($_POST['email'], $_POST['name']);   // visitor's address
$mail->Subject = 'New contact form message';
$mail->Body    = $_POST['message'];
$mail->send();

Laravel (.env)

MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=mail.mailions.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
[email protected]
MAIL_PASSWORD=your-mailbox-password
[email protected]

Node.js (Nodemailer)

// npm install nodemailer
const nodemailer = require('nodemailer');

const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
  host: 'mail.mailions.com',
  port: 587,
  secure: false,          // STARTTLS is negotiated automatically on 587
  auth: { user: process.env.SMTP_USER, pass: process.env.SMTP_PASS },
});

await transporter.sendMail({
  from: '"Your Company" <[email protected]>',
  to: '[email protected]',
  replyTo: visitorEmail,  // so "Reply" goes to the visitor
  subject: 'New contact form message',
  text: message,
});

Python

import os, smtplib
from email.message import EmailMessage

msg = EmailMessage()
msg["From"] = "[email protected]"
msg["To"] = "[email protected]"
msg["Reply-To"] = visitor_email
msg["Subject"] = "New contact form message"
msg.set_content(message)

with smtplib.SMTP("mail.mailions.com", 587) as s:
    s.starttls()
    s.login(os.environ["SMTP_USER"], os.environ["SMTP_PASS"])
    s.send_message(msg)
