Ukr.net IMAP Settings and Setup

Ukr.net works with Patriot Mail and any other email app. Two things have to be done in Ukr.net first: turn on access for external programs, and create a password for the app to use.

Server settings

What to enter, if an app asks you

Patriot Mail fills these in for you. They are here for any other app that asks, and so you can check what you were given.

Ukr.net

SSL/TLS (IMAP and SMTP)

Incoming mail (IMAP)

Server
imap.ukr.net
Port
993

Outgoing mail (SMTP)

Server

Before you start

What is different about Ukr.net

Worth knowing

A generated password, not your own

Since 2020 Ukr.net has refused the main mailbox password in email apps. It gives you a separate generated password instead, one per app, which you can remove later without changing your own password.

Worth knowing

Access is off until you turn it on

Access for external programs starts switched off. Turn it on in the same settings page where the password is created, or the app is refused before the password is even checked.

Step by step

How to connect Ukr.net

1

Turn on access for external programs

Sign in to Ukr.net in a browser, open the settings, and find the page for managing IMAP access. Turn access for external programs on.

2

Create a password for the app

Create a password on that same page, name it so you recognize it later, and copy it. Ukr.net generates it for you.

3

Add the account to Patriot Mail

Open Patriot Mail, choose Add account, enter your full ukr.net address, and paste the generated password rather than your own.

Common questions

Ukr.net and Patriot Mail

What are the IMAP settings for Ukr.net?

imap.ukr.net on port 993 with SSL for incoming mail, and smtp.ukr.net on port 465 with SSL for outgoing mail. Your username is your full ukr.net address.

Why will my Ukr.net password not work?

Ukr.net no longer accepts your main mailbox password in an email app. In your Ukr.net settings you turn on access for external programs and create a password for the app, then use that here.

Where do I create the password for the app?

Sign in to Ukr.net in a browser and open the settings for managing IMAP access. Turn access on, create a password, give it a name so you recognize it later, and copy it.

Will connecting Ukr.net to Patriot Mail change my address?

No. Patriot Mail connects to the Ukr.net mailbox you already have. Your address stays the same and your mail stays with Ukr.net.

Keep your Ukr.net address

Patriot Mail connects the mailbox you already have. Your address does not change, your mail stays with Ukr.net, and it is free to use.
