Connect Interia Email with IMAP

Interia (interia.pl, poczta.fm, int.pl) works with Patriot Mail and any IMAP email app. There is one extra step most people miss: IMAP is off until you turn on email-program access in Interia web mail, and the server is poczta.interia.pl.

Step one

Turn on email-program access

Enable the "Uzywam programu pocztowego" option in Interia web mail. Until you do, every email app is refused.

If you use two-step login

Create an app password

With two-step login on, email apps need an app password instead of your normal password.

Server settings

poczta.interia.pl

Incoming and outgoing both use poczta.interia.pl: IMAP on port 993 (SSL) and SMTP on port 465 (SSL). Username is your full email address.

Step 1 - Required

Turn on IMAP in Interia web mail

1

Open Interia web mail in a browser

Sign in at poczta.interia.pl on a computer or phone browser. You cannot change this setting from an email app.

2

Open settings, then parameters

Open the settings and go to the parameters section.

3

Enable Uzywam programu pocztowego

Turn on the "Uzywam programu pocztowego" option, which enables POP3/IMAP access. Now continue in your email app.

Step 2 - Only with two-step login

Create an app password

If you have two-step login on for your Interia account, your normal password will not work in an email app. Create a separate app password. If you do not use two-step login, skip this step and use your normal password.

1

Open account security

In Interia web mail, open your account settings and find the security section.

2

Create a mail app password

Create a password for mail apps and give it a name.

3

Copy it into your email app

Paste the generated password into the password field.

Step by step

Add Interia to Patriot Mail

1

Open Add Account

Go to Settings, then Accounts, then Add New Account.

2

Enter your Interia address

Type your full email address. Patriot Mail fills in the poczta.interia.pl server settings for you.

3

Enter your password

Use your normal password, or the app password if two-step login is on, then continue.

Other apps

Add Interia to Apple Mail on iPhone or Mac

1

Add a new account

On iPhone open Settings, then Mail, then Accounts, then Add Account. On Mac open Mail, then Settings, then Accounts. Choose Other Mail Account.

2

Enter your details

Enter your name, your full Interia address, and your password (or app password). Enter the servers by hand if needed.

3

Enter the Interia server

Incoming (IMAP) and outgoing (SMTP) are both poczta.interia.pl. Username is your full email address.

Interia server settings

  • Incoming (IMAP): poczta.interia.pl, port 993, SSL
  • Outgoing (SMTP): poczta.interia.pl, port 465, SSL
  • Username: your full Interia email address
  • Password: your normal password, or an app password if two-step login is on

If it will not connect

  • Confirm email-program access is enabled in Interia settings.
  • If you use two-step login, use an app password, not your normal password.
  • Check the address is typed correctly with no spaces.
