KIRE offers Secure Socket Layer Encryption for all of your important e-mail transactions. In the age we currently live in, it is important to us to ensure all of your e-mail messages are 100% secure and encrypted. Our Incoming Mail Server (POP3) allows SSL connections on port 995. Our Incoming Mail Server (IMAP) allows SSL connections on port 993. Our Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) accepts SSL connections on port 465. Below are instructions on how to configure your e-mail client to securely interact with our mail servers.
