Ziggo Mail IMAP Settings and Setup

Ziggo Mail works with Patriot Mail and any other email app. The one thing that catches people out: your email password is not the same as your My Ziggo password.

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.

What is different about Ziggo Mail

Worth knowing

Two passwords, and you need the email one

My Ziggo has one password and your mailbox has another. An email app needs the email one, which you set in My Ziggo under your internet and email settings. If you have never set it, set it there first.

Worth knowing

Older addresses are Ziggo mailboxes

Addresses at casema.nl, chello.nl and upcmail.nl came from services Ziggo took over. They are Ziggo mailboxes now and use the Ziggo servers below.

Step by step

How to connect Ziggo Mail

1

Find your email password

Sign in to My Ziggo and open your internet and email settings. Check your email password there, or set a new one if you are not sure what it is.

2

Add the account to Patriot Mail

Open Patriot Mail, choose Add account, and type your full address with that email password. The server names are filled in for you.

3

If it does not connect

If it is refused, set a new email password in My Ziggo and use that. A My Ziggo password typed into an email app is the usual cause.

Common questions

Ziggo Mail and Patriot Mail

What are the IMAP settings for Ziggo Mail?

imap.ziggo.nl on port 993 with SSL for incoming mail, and smtp.ziggo.nl on port 587 for outgoing mail. Your username is your full email address.

Which password does an email app need?

Your Ziggo email password is a separate password from the one you use to sign in to My Ziggo. You set it, and can change it, in My Ziggo under your internet and email settings. An email app needs the email password.

Do casema.nl and chello.nl addresses still work?

Yes. Older addresses at casema.nl, chello.nl and upcmail.nl are Ziggo mailboxes and use the same servers and the same email password.

Will connecting Ziggo to Patriot Mail change my address?

No. Patriot Mail connects to the Ziggo mailbox you already have, so your address does not change and your mail stays with Ziggo.

Keep your Ziggo Mail address

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