Hostinger Email IMAP and SMTP settings

Hostinger bundles Titan-powered mailboxes with many plans but exposes its own hostnames for IMAP and SMTP.

Connection

port 993 · SSL/TLS

SMTP host

port 465 · SSL/TLS

Username

your full email address
password: mailbox password
Setup

Connect in three steps

  1. 1

    Create the mailbox in hPanel → Emails.

  2. 2

    Use the full address as the username.

  3. 3

    Enable IMAP/SMTP access if the plan restricts it.

Watch out

What usually breaks

  • Some Hostinger email plans are powered by Titan and may answer on titan.email hosts as well.

  • Free hosting plans often include webmail only.

Detect it

Resolve it instead of hardcoding it

A custom domain on Hostinger Email has the same MX infrastructure as the consumer product. That is what mailintel reads.

hostinger.ts
import { mailintel } from "mailintel";

const result = await mailintel("[email protected]");

result.provider;              // "hostinger"
result.connection.imap;       // { host: "imap.hostinger.com", port: 993, security: "tls" }
result.connection.smtp;       // { host: "smtp.hostinger.com", port: 465, security: "tls" }
result.connection.username;   // "[email protected]"
